Description

Book Synopsis
An engaging, rigorously researched biography of popular 19th century novelist Dinah Craik

Trade Review
A readable and riveting literary and cultural biography that documents Craik's embeddedness in personal, professional, and literary relationships. The book fills a gap in literary studies while also exploring new questions for Victorian disability studies. A meaningful scholarly work and a frankly enthralling read."" - Martha Stoddard Holmes, California State University, San Marcos

""An invaluable record of a fascinating life, and a real tour-de-force of both research and organization. Bourrier has synthesized an impressive amount of primary research: manuscript diaries, letters, photographs, even genealogical information. This book will make it possible to give Craik the scholarly attention she has long deserved."" - Talia C. Schaffer, Graduate Center, City University of New York
