Despite its biases, Mulhallen's study is a useful addition to any large academic library.
PREMIUM
Wilkie Collins: A Brief Life
Ackroyd's approachable narrative and the book's near-pocket size will appeal to Collins fans (and time-pressed students), but no new research is presented, therefore limiting the book's appeal to large public and academic libraries only.
PREMIUM
Jane Austen's Names: Riddles, Persons, Places
A delightful, edifying read for both scholars and lay Austen fans, though the latter may occasionally have trouble keeping up with the references to plots and characters from Austen's juvenilia and works by other 18th- and 19th-century authors.
PREMIUM
A Life with Mary Shelley
Obligatory for libraries supporting graduate-level English programs, but a pass for lay readers, who will find the literary criticism too academic.
PREMIUM

An amusing, quick read for bibliophiles, lovers of the classics, and hopeless romantics.
PREMIUM

This appealing and helpful read is guaranteed to double the length of a to-read list and become a go-to reference for those unsure of their reading identities or who are overwhelmed by the sheer number of books in the world.
PREMIUM
The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things
A rarer approach to deciphering the meaning of Austen's work through her life. Recommended for Austen fans, those committed to close reading, literature lovers, and those enthralled by discussions of authorial intention.
PREMIUM
The Lost Journal of Bram Stoker: The Dublin Years
Despite drawbacks, this will be of interest to Stoker scholars and fans curious about how the author's life influenced his most famous work, but a pass for more casual audiences.
