Pressestimmen
'... the cultural impact of eavesdropping on notions of space, identity and reading are well articulated and ultimately convincing. Gayling's scholarship provides yet another focus for the study of nineteenth century literature and culture and critics will find value in her novel approach to a phenomenon that resonates as much in the contemporary world as it did over a century ago.' English '... surprises by the abundance of its examples and frequently impresses by the cogency of its analysis ...' Modernism/Modernity
