"It is thrilling to see a selection of Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy back in print. These tales, once accessible only in rare book rooms, are now available to scholars and students in a clear, well-organized format with useful critical apparatus. Logan's excellent critical introduction contextualizes the publication of Illustrations within debates over reform in the early decades of the nineteenth century and makes a strong case for the centrality of Martineau's work in the history of the nineteenth-century novel. Illustrations of Political Economy is essential reading for students and scholars of nineteenth-century British literature and culture, and Logan's excellent critical edition makes this important text newly engaging and highly accessible for the next generation of cultural historians and general readers." -- Alexis Easley, University of Alaska Southeast
"For too long Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy has been unavailable for students of the Victorian age despite its influence on a variety of major writers such as Dickens, Gaskell, and Eliot. Indeed, one of Logan's primary achievements is to demonstrate Martineau's place in literary history: uniting literature and political economy and thus establishing the foundation for the reform literature that so marked the mid-Victorian age. This edition of Martineau's stories provides a clear, thought-provoking introduction with an excellent selection of supporting material, and should be of value in the disciplines of history, literature, sociology, and women's studies." -- Lynn M. Alexander, University of Tennessee at Martin
Each volume includes a full introduction, chronology, bibliography, and explanatory notes along with a variety of documents from the period, giving readers a rich sense of the world from which the work emerged.
