Oscar Defoe A review of chapter 6 - Syon House by The Duke of Northumberland With no time to read the whole book before the printers speed into action, I studied the chapter on Syon House, my family's London home for 400 years, and was immensely impressed by the accuracy of the author's research and the fluent style which brings the characters to life. The contrast between Syon and the workhouse and between the rich and poor, is a poignant reminder of the hellish life that so many lived in Victorian times. This brief taste of Barbara Maliszewski's historical tale has certainly wetted my appetite for a more comprehensive study of Oscar Defoe. Duke of Northumberland 24th March 2006 "It is very interesting; a good period piece and has a nice historical flavour." J K Wingfield Digby, Sherborne Castle, Dorset Barbara O'Sullivan was born in Chiswick, London and worked as a legal secretary in the City of London and Toronto, Canada for 32 years.

Nineteenth-century British culture frequently represented the eye as the preeminent organ of truth. These essays explore the relationship between the verbal and the visual in the Victorian imagination. They range broadly over topics that include the relationship of optical devices to the visual imagination, the role of photography in changing the conception of evidence and truth, the changing partnership between illustrator and novelist, and the ways in which literary texts represent the visual. Together they begin to construct a history of seeing in the Victorian period. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1995.
