Reviews

As Dickens Studies Annual approaches the end of its third decade its dimensions continue to increase. This collection...bears a clear 'impress from the moving age' in an overall eclecticism of theme and approach, but also in its display of major critical preoccupations of recent times. - Rick Allen on Volume 29, Dickens Quarterly ""All in all, Dickens Studies Annual 30 provides a good overview of the state of Dickens studies just now."" - Harland S. Nelson on Volume 30, Dickens Quarterly
