"The project promises to provide a richly documented sense of a British ‘socialist culture,’ allowing readers to appreciate the distinctive contribution of Whitman’s poetry to it." -- Andrew Lawson, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
"[This book] speaks to a growing sense of the importance of transatlantic exchange in the formation of British political identities across the 19th century and will add to this growing and very current field of scholarship. It is clearly based on meticulous research and draws on interdisciplinary resources to analyse the textual examples used." -- Ruth Livesey, University of London, UK
