lt;p>"In Neo-Victorianism and Sensation Fiction, Jessica Cox offers an exciting new intervention in the field of neo-Victorian studies. ... Written in clear prose, and with good knowledge of both Victorian and neo-Victorian scholarship, the book presents a convincing argument for the study of the popularity and legacy of the sensation novel beyond the nineteenth century." (Tara MacDonald, Victorian Studies, Vol. 64 (3), 2022)
"Each chapter reaches its particular contrast and focus ... the discussion is thorough and provokes reevaluation of the boundaries academic discourse has placed upon ever-evolving literature. ... Cox's study represents a valuable step in moving the conversation forward." (Lydia Craig, The Wilkie Collins Journal, wilkiecollinssociety.org, Vol. 18, 2021)
