Kritik
"As a work of literary analysis and a study of cultural history, Agnew's monograph contributes significantly in content and approach to the field of Victorian, postcolonial, and gender studies. Drawing on a substantial body of lesser-known primary works by imperial women writers, and a flourishing subset of secondary scholarship on Empire and women, Agnew produces a volume that is not only critically valuable but also an enjoyable read." (Shuhita Bhattachargee, English Literature in Transition 1880-1920, Vol. 62 (3), 2019)mehr
