Book Synopsis


Trade Review

'Ferrand’s thematic approach enables her to give equal weight to well-known and anonymous illustrators. […] This well-conceived anthology serves to widen access to many illustrated novels of the period, and hopefully it will stimulate further investigation in what remains an under-researched area.'
- French Studies, vol. 64, n° 4


'Le vaste répertoire iconographique invitera le lecteur non initié à découvrir la richesse de ce champ de recherche en plein essor, alors que les commentaires de l’auteure permettront au spécialiste d’y glaner des réflexions des plus stimulantes.'
- French Review, 85:4


'The selection of certain texts outside the literary canon, including libertine and pornographic novels, adds richness and originality to her examination […] The images were chosen from a vast corpus of illustrations on the basis of their connection with reading, books and libraries. This unifying theme is a compelling one, the images representing at once a reflection and a mise en abime of text itself and providing a fascinating standpoint from which to examine the act of reading.'
Journal of Eighteenth-Century Studies
