Reviews
"What is intriguing here is the dialectical back-and-forth intertext which elucidates both the writings of the Victorian writers and the theories of poststructuralist French theoreticians." --Roland A Champagne "One reads it with a strong sense that not many more books like this are likely to be written." -- "Studies in English Literature"
