Recenzii

“Suzanne Rintoul's Intimate Violence and Victorian Print Culture is an insightful, diverse, and serious study of nineteenth-century depiction of battered women. … While Rintoul makes substantial claims about how violence against women was represented, she provides evidence through a thoughtfully curated selection of texts, allowing her relatively brief 160-page study to be surprisingly diverse. … The author provides occasional detailed descriptions of abuse and graphic illustrations, but only when there is a true need.” (Sara Melton, Victorians Institute Journal, Vol. 43, 2015)
