“This was easily one of the most enjoyable academic works I have read in recent years. … Happily, for twenty-first-century readers, Engel makes much ado about muffs, and in so doing, makes a valuable and absorbing contribution to the study of the intersections between material culture, fiction, and the visual and performing arts of the long eighteenth century.” (Heather Ladd, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, Vol. 32 (1), 2019)
