Happy that Remediating the 1820s is now available as a (relatively) affordable paperback. One of the reasons we wanted to publish with @EdinburghUP was their commitment to paperback releases: edinburghuniversitypress.com….
Grateful and glad that the first journal review for An Introduction to Fantasy is well informed, fair minded and positive: muse.jhu.edu/pub/105/article….
