The Woman Reader, 1837-1914 (Clarendon Paperbacks)
"The firm historical perspective combined with vivid, bristling detail makesThe Woman Readervaluable as well as interesting....The range of sources is staggering....Utterly engrossing, not only as history but as a clue to categories of 'woman reader' today."--The Independent"Flint's book is of incalculable value. She is excellent at summarizing what Victorian and twentieth-century critics and theorists have assumed about women readers; summarizing what we can actually deduce on the basis of the evidence available; and then pointing to the discrepancies."--VictorianReview
