Reviews

Scrupulously researched with keen interpretive insight, James Lilley's Common Things is a gripping analysis of the transatlantic traditions of Gothic, sentimental, and historical romance. In offering a new way of understanding citizenship, it reconfigures the aesthetics of modernity. A wonderfully rich interdisciplinary study.

Common Things offers not only insightful readings of a range of texts but also needed reflections on how our historical sensibilities are part of the blend. -- -Edward D. White * Tulane University *
