Reviews

"An extensive thirty-page bibliography and a very useful representative chronology of nearly three hundred Sterneana created between 1760 and 1840 concludes this essential study of an important phenomenon." - SHARP News"She is (…) doing a service with the sheer breadth of her inquiry. With (I presume) the aid of full-text databases, she has discovered Sternean moments and allusions in places no previous scholar thought to even look, and has brought together genres and media often treated in isolation: travel writing, collections of excerpts, sentimental fiction, drama, songs, satirical prints, etc. And many of her comments on individual texts and images (…) are insightful." – David A.
