Kritik
"Incognito Social Investigation in British Literature illuminates Victorian periodical writing and its broader impact in provocative, unforgettable ways." (Rebecca Nesvet, Victorian Periodicals Review, Vol. 51 (2), 2018)
"This is a fascinating study that explores the genre of writings produced by 'incognito social investigators' from the 1860s to more recent times. ... there is much of considerable interest in this volume. It deserves to be read, and for those with an interest in Orwell they will find his impact and legacy cropping up through the book." (Nick Crowson, George Orwell Studies, Vol. 2 (1), 2017)
"Seaber's study is a scholarly and accessible overview of a fascinating and oddly overlooked genre. As such, it offers a rare insight into to the cultural and literary context that helped shape one of Orwell's most highly regarded works, in the process significantly expanding the scope of Orwell studies." (Luke Davies, The Orwell Society, Issue 11, 2017)mehr
