Reviews
Maurer's innovative and considerable insights into nineteenth-century property issues will undoubtedly prove a valuable resource for those exploring colonial and postcolonial issues in literature. Meticulously researched, Maurer offers a scholarly and occasionally ironic voice to this growing field of study.
The work Sara L. Maurer offers here operates in a broader critical frame and opens a view onto a different critical practice.
Maurer makes an original and compelling contribution to the relatively sparse body of scholarship that aims to bring English and Irish studies into a productive conversation.
