Rezensionen

"Making Social Knowledge in the Victorian City is a fascinating and invaluable corrective to Joyce's instrumentalism. Throughout, Hewitt emphasises the importance of lines of sight and visual impressions: hence the role of housing conditions as synecdoche for social situation." - Simon J Morgan, Leeds Beckett University
