'O’Connell neatly explores the demands that the publishing market placed on both Murray and Byron....Byron and John Murray is as much a contribution to studies of sociability, the nineteenth-century publishing world, and the bookselling market place, as it is to accounts of Byron and Byronism. By bringing together reception history, private letters that were exposed to a public world, and Byron’s literary works themselves, this book enhances our understanding of the changing literary landscapes of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.'Charlotte May, The BARS Review, No. 48
