Entries are arranged alphabetically and often provide considerable detail. In his foreword, Nevins explains that the book is "subjective, not objective," and "prescriptive rather than descriptive"--claims born out by the degree of critical discussion. Contributing to the book's value to students and researchers are publication data and frequent cross-references. The text disappoints, however, in the omission of source lists. Back matter offers a limited bibliography and no index for surveying authors, titles, series, and publishers. Despite these limitations, this very readable volume is a sound addition to the reference collections on both Victorian and fantasy literature. Mary Ellen Snodgrass
