Review Quotes:
'This is an informative, comprehensive, and detailed introduction to Crackanthorpe for those who know little about him. It is an illuminating companion edition for those already familiar with his dark vision of life in the 1890s, which his own life trajectory so much resembled.'
Jad Adams, Volupté, 5.1 (2022), pp. 98-102
'A much-needed edition that successfully presents the range and importance of Crackanthorpe's writing... Selected Writings is an accessible introduction to Crackanthorpe that makes proper consideration of his work alongside others of the 'Tragic Generation' possible. Highly recommended.'
