Reviews
'...Those interested in the history of science, publishing, women, Britain, cemeteries, libraries, periodicals, urban spaces, class, and gardening will enjoy this book.' Medium.com '... a thorough and skilled study of the contributions made by John and Jane Loudon to early nineteenth-century garden publishing, bringing together the disciplines of media history, social history, politics, journalism and garden history.' Garden History 'Sarah Dewis ... is the first scholar to examine systematically [the Loudons's] remarkable contribution to gardening and democratic discourse during a period of profound social and political change and industrial and agricultural improvement, and to explore the relevance and impact of their publications for the period 1820 to 1850 ... [an] admirable study.' Print Quarterly 'Given its extensive attention to print culture, this book will be of interest to scholars working on book and media history and its relationship to urban spaces and landscape design. ... The Loudons and the Gardening Press is a valuable contribution to scholarship on nineteenth-century print culture.' Victorian Periodicals Review
