Rezensionen

"Newbon is careful throughout his book, not to over-simplify the nature of the Romantic boy-man. ... Newbon's book is engaging throughout, and if his objective was to educate the reader on the shared attributes of the Romantic boy-man, he has certainly achieved this." (Sophie Phelps, The Charles Lamb Bulletin, Issue 174, 2021)

"This is an erudite book and a valuable contribution to masculinity studies." (Tracy Hayes, BAVS Newsletter, Vol. 20 (1), 2020)
