Review Quotes: This satchel-sized, forest-green volume is ripe to be taken to go and thumbed through in the setting its subjects favored: nature... An affectionate survey of the titular nineteenth-century literary movement in Britain [with] charming color reproductions of paintings and the authors' scribblings.-- "The New Criterion" (6/24/2025 12:00:00 AM)
