`Review from previous edition Edwardian Fiction is sound on the different kinds of novel that were being written between 1900 and 1914, and the ways in which they were published.' Jeremy Lewis, The Observer

`a luxuriant and often exotic flowering of fiction both literary and popular...this is a lost generation: it's time they were recovered...this clear, readable companion will be a handy guide for those who feel tempted to try' Michael Kerrigan, The Scotsman

`a useful survey of famous and forgotten novelists from a particularly productive period in British writing...an ideal crib for lazy students of all ages' Peter Burton, Gay Times

`excellent new Oxford Companion...the great charm of this book is in its account of these lesser figures, rather than household names' Spectator

`the Companion covers an enormous field...a tremendous achievement...it resuscitates hundreds of authors and drives fresh pathways through the field' Times Literary Supplement

`this will be an exceptionally useful reference work...the strengths of the book are many...whatever the purpose, the reader will I think be richly rewarded by this well-researched, well-written, and well-edited book' Alan Holden, Housman Society Journal
