Kritik
"The strengths of The Brontës and War are Butcher's clear exposition of the historical war and military milieu within which Charlotte and Branwell wrote ... . she has engaged in admirably wide-ranging and nuanced research around war and military cultures and valuably opened up a field for further study." (Sue Thomas, Victorian Studies, Vol. 63 (4), 2021)

"Butcher's contribution to the history of childhood in the early nineteenth century is significant, adding depth to the existing study of material culture in post-Napoleonic-War Britain ... ." (Vic Clarke, BAVS Newsletter, Vol. 21 (3), 2021)mehr
