Cynthia Ellen Patton, Victorian Studies ...the book is well-researched and is to be prized as an accomplished presentation of some major issues facing the analysis of Victorian middle-class culture. ..it advances the serious academic study of 'popular music' into an area which, up to the 1980s, has been mainly occupied by anthologists. Michael Pickering, Popular Music Excellent musical analysis, illustrated with copious examples. Michael Grosvenor, The Times Scott is well read, writes with quiet assurance and engaging enthusiasm, and has enough confidence in his subject to range widely, and indicate possibilities for future research. Cyril Ehrlich, English Historical Review Review quotes for second edition: 'Recommended highly.' The Delian 'This is a beautifully written book, with plenty of musical quotations to illustrate it, and combines a great deal of information with a considerable measure of entertainment.
