Reviews for Novel Minds: Philosophers and Romance Readers, 1680-1740 (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print)
'Novel Minds delivers a nuanced understanding of the instabilities and uncertainties of the consciousness shaped by reading imagined in eighteenth-century philosophy and narrative prose. In a lively and engaging style, Tierney-Hynes brings the writings of significant writers into interesting conversation with each other.' - Ros Ballaster, Professor of 18th Century Studies, University of Oxford, UK
