Recensioner i media
'McGuire's arguments are carefully crafted, nuanced, and often strikingly original in their assessment of how suicide works in a range of disparate and often unwieldy novels. Dying to be English proves the reward of bringing multiple disciplinary lenses to bear upon the phenomenon of suicide and its broad cultural resonance.' Eighteenth-Century Fiction
