Kritik
"Heidi Liedke's study, The Experience of Idling in Victorian Travel Texts, 1850-1901, takes a deep dive into the fascinating phenomenon of writers in the latter half of the century ... ." (Maria Frawley, Victorian Studies, Vol. 63 (4), 2021)

"This is a thought-provoking monograph of interest to Victorianists studying travel writing, as well as those studying the relationships between work, toil, rest, leisure and idling." (H-F Dessain, BAVS Newsletter, Vol. 19 (3), 2019)mehr
