Reviews
“This book makes an interesting and original contribution to the fields of Victorian literature, periodical studies, and girls’ studies. Rodgers makes a compelling argument that adolescent girlhood was a distinct category in late nineteenth-century British literature and print culture by examining a rich variety of sources that are not often examined together.” (Kristine Moruzi, Deakin University, Australia)
