Review Quotes: "Fear, Loathing, and Victorian Xenophobia makes a significant contribution to nineteenth-century literary and cultural studies by highlighting how various and overlapping modes of difference--class, race, cultural, ethnic, national--elicited a host of xenophobic responses that marked Britain's long nineteenth century. In so doing, the volume adds a much-needed thickness to discussions of xenophobia." --Sukanya Banerjee, associate professor of English, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
