”Dr. James has done so thorough a job that all students of the period will be permanently in his debt....the success of the enquiry, in research terms is outstanding: a solid contribution to the necessary rewriting of nineteenth-century cultural history.” – Raymond Williams. ; “He has mapped a huge jungle.” Geoffrey Tillotson, The Spectator. ; “This book is a well-documented and scrupulous attempt to reconstruct the tastes and preferences of the urban English working class, in a period when they are almost hidden from sight.” – John Wain, The Observer. ; “The vividness of his subject, its social ramifications, and the masterly mental vigour he has brought to it, make it a most readable book.” – The Times. ; “There can be few sorts of research where the field material by itself is more fascinating...The most thorough study yet of the literature produced for the working classes in early Victorian urban England.” – David Holloway, Daily Telegraph. ; “This book is more exhaustive and scholarly than any foregoing account and it is impossible to praise too highly Dr. James’s scrupulous chronological approach to his unwieldy material...His whole approach to this Victorian field is one of the most praiseworthy thoroughness, underlined by all the auxiliary excellences of the book – the revealing wood-cuts, the appendix on working-class poets, the check list of publishers and penny-issue novels, and the very full bibliography.” Patricia Thomson, Review of English Studies. ; “All his study is interesting, but the seamy side is the most engaging.” – Nigel Dennis, Sunday Telegraph.
