Editorial Reviews
Review
'Mariadele Boccardi's study of the contemporary British historical novel is an absorbing, accomplished and well-researched piece of criticism that not only comments insightfully on a good range of writers but also represents a valuable contribution to ongoing debates about fiction, history, memory, nostalgia and postmodernism.' - Michael Greaney, Senior Lecturer in English, Lancaster University, UK
