Recenzii
“This collection is as much a call to action on what scholarship is or can be as it is a specific treatment of hands . . . itself an experiment in how many approaches to a topic can meet in a single collection . . . Victorian Hands adds yet another join to the hand as tool; it provides a new model for how to manufacture work across a broad scholarly community.” —Tobias Wilson-Bates, Victorian Studies
