"Drawing on the Victorians is a singularly diverse and multinational collection, a fine critical embodiment of the palimpsest trope that stands … at its conceptual core." (Victorian Studies) "Jones and Mitchell's innovative and pioneering collection will establish new areas of scholarlydebate. Moreover, its focus on 'stories and poems, books and periodicals, comics, cartoons, andother ephemera' will enrich discussions on the interplay between the production andreception of Victorian and neo-Victorian graphic texts and textual images."(Neo-Victorian Studies) "Stunningly transnational … The editors take the notion of the palimpsest as their conceptual frame because it speaks to haunting of one text and/or image by another, a layering, they assert, that becomes particularly complex when linguistic, geographic, historical, and temporal boundaries are crossed." "Research in Victorian and neo-Victorian visual and verbal art receives a welcome boost from this collection. Not claiming to be a definitive map or theory, it nonetheless at every point opens up new questions for debate and new topics for investigation by future critics and scholars." "This pioneering work in illustration studies will provide a necessary starting point for future work in the field."
