Rezension zu „A Companion to Victorian Literature and Culture “
"Each of the very varied contributions -- there are 29 of them in all -- is well equipped with exhaustive and up--to--date bibliographies, invaluable for further studies. There is also an excellent index. Altogether, therefore, this is an admirable and enduring book, which should certainly be added to the reference departments of all self--respecting university libraries -- and a great many civic and municipal libraries, as well." Languages and Literature "This book has been planned to meet both short--term and long--range needs. It is a reference work for consultation. " The Victorian Newsletter "...Tuckera s Companion, with its extensive range of topics (some truly original and rarely dealt with in similar books), its well--documented essays, and constant degree of serious scholarship, apears indeed as an extremely valuable tool for students and scholars alike, and a major contribution to Victorian criticism." The Journal of the South Central Modern Language Association
