The range and detail of her study in the individual chapters is supported by an excellent introduction that offers a cross-disciplinary summary of possible critical approaches. The book is beautifully produced and surprisingly cheap, a major asset as it deserves to be read by as many Victorianists as possible. * Brian Maidment, Victorian Periodicals Review * Picture World plunges the reader into a world of visual art that crosses the boundaries between high and low art, surveying these objects while also explaining the culture that made them and made their collection possible. A delightful achievement. * Dr. Frederick D. King, Review 19 * All in all, this is a highly valuable contribution to current scholarship in Victorian media studies and it will prove to be an enlightening read for all. * Ester D´iaz Morillo, British Association for Victorian Studies Newsletter * Picture World is a considerable achievement. The book is generously illustrated, capaciously and convincingly argued, and thoroughly researched. It will serve as reference guide, teaching tool, and source of provocative ideas to which students and researchers will often return. * Margaret Linley, Victorian Studies Vol 64.4 * Author InformationRachel Teukolsky is an Associate Professor of English at Vanderbilt University.
