Reviews and Awards
"In this wide-ranging study, Watson is more interested - and, certainly, convincing and lucid - in demonstrating the way the errant letter evolves, all the while `retaining something of its scandalously sexualized nature'."--Eighteenth-Century Fiction
"Densely argued, clever in its interpretation of texts - autobiographical, biographical as well as novelistic - and displaying considerable sophistication in the deployment of contemporary narrative terminology."--History of European Ideas
"...an important contribution....Witty, elegant and well-researched..."--The Wordsworth Circle
"An exceptionally rich and challenging account."--Choice
