Rule Britannia

"Outstanding. . . .David shines in her close readings of particular texts and her rich cross-referencing to the present. . . .Her book contributes to our understanding of the complex interrelationships of gender, class, and race. . . .The sophistication and clarity of this work provides us with a model of thoughtful, theoretically informed criticism. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in Victorian literature."—Martha Vicinus, Journal of English and Germanic Philology
