Reviews
Reviews 'A cause for celebration and a strong indicator of the maturation of the field... this collection up-ends many assumptions about nineteenth-century Ireland as it grappled with literacies in both English and Irish during a century that witnessed tremendous change.'
Karen Steel, Victorian Periodicals Review
'The capacious key terms of Literacy, Language, and Reading allow the conceptual nets to be cast far and wide... the real contribution of this volume is the kaleidoscopic view that it both constructs and encourages.'
Sean O'Toole, Victorian Studies
'In addition to scholars of linguistics and language, this book will be of use to those researching the history of the book and printing in Ireland, journalism, cartography and religion. All reveal something of the social and culture life of nineteenth century Ireland.'
Orla Fitzpatrick, Irish Studies Review
