About this book
Reviews
“Many … writers from the period who used the press as a literary laboratory merit similar attention. Birch’s book provides an excellent model for future research on that theme.” (Max McGuinness, Modern Language Review, Vol. 115 (4), October, 2020)
“Edmund Birch’s monograph skilfully explores different aspects of the interrelationship between fiction and newspapers in nineteenth-century France through a study of selected seminal novels of journalism. … The text is extremely well written, with an enviable clarity of expression and lucidity of exposition, not least in its use of literary theory. Overall the book represents a significant scholarly contribution to our understanding of both nineteenth-century French literature and the cultural history of journalism in France.” (Raymond Kuhn, Modern & Contemporary France, December 10, 2019)
