Kritik
«The strengths of "Power to Observe" lie in the author's meticulous research and thorough command of her subject matter. ... [This] is an important work that offers fresh perspectives on the lives and works of Irish women writers who forged professional careers in Britain between 1890 and 1916.» (Janis Dawson, English Literature in Transition, 59/2016)mehr
