Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Winner of the NAVSA Best Book of the Year, North American Victorian Studies Association"
"Quaint, Exquisite is a beautifully written book. . . . [Lavery] is an invigorating, compelling collaborative critical voice which demands, and amply repays, the reader’s time and thought."---Gail Marshall, Times Higher Education
"[Lavery’s] musings are worlds away from the archival explorations and excavations preoccupying most Victorianists now. But both approaches, hands-on and theoretical, are valid and valuable . . . . Grace Lavery combines them, most eloquently when reading individual works. That is rather a rare skill."---Jacqueline Banerjee, Times Literary Supplement
