Editorial Reviews
Review
‘provides a close account of the ups and downs of the dialogue as writers fit it to a popular audience.’ European Romantic Review ‘Wallbank’s study offers an important addition to Romanticism criticism. It will enrich our understanding of the cultural landscape of the period through its careful attention to the textual and political nuances of a genre whose important role has too often been overlooked.’ Paul Keen, Carleton University
