Recenzii
Review of the hardback: 'This book is a quite magnificent contribution to nineteenth-century cultural history, as well as to the wider exploration of the cultural production of the senses. Flint moves with restless, virtuosic authority between literature, painting, politics and scientific writing, layering together gripping new material with reangled readings of familiar texts.' Steven Connor, Birkbeck College, University of London
