The Victorian Web is always interested in hearing about new and recent books of interest to Victorianists. If you are a publisher or publicist and would like to submit a book for consideration, please contact diane@victorianweb.org with a press release and/or other pre-publication material. If we find the book appropriate for review on the Victorian Web, we will request a PDF and make the book available to potential reviewers. If a reviewer then selects the book for review, we will provide the reviewer’s address for shipment of a paper copy.
If you're interested in reviewing a book listed here, email Diane Josefowicz, Managing Editor, at diane@victorianweb.org with a few sentences about how you'll approach the book along with a brief statement of your background and research interests, and links, if available, to other book reviews you've published.
