Bibliography — New Works
Armstrong, Isobel. Victorian Glassworlds: Glass Culture and the Victorian Imagination, 1830-1880. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2009.
In some respects an odd book, and in others an uneven one [in part because of some heavy, jargon-filled sentences], Victorian Glassworlds is nonetheless to be welomed as a major work, not least because of its willingness to put centre stage some of the starnge and haunting details of Victorian life which have usually relegated to the margins. — Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, TLS (11 July 2008): 29.
