For those looking for a spooky book this autumn, we're inviting review of Simon Cooke's 'Illustrating the Victorian Supernatural'. This new book from @ohiostatepress.bsky.social explores written and visual texts through Victorian readerships navigated their experience of supernaturalism 👻

Also from @universitypress.cambridge.org, we're looking for someone to review Nicola Kirkby's 'Railway Infrastructure and the Victorian Novel'.

It's a fascinating study on how railway infrastructure and novel infrastructure worked together to set nineteenth-century British society!

Emily Cuming's 'Maritime Relations' is perfect for scholars interested in archival research and working class history. This new publication from @universitypress.cambridge.org uses archival memoirs and logbooks to detail the lives of ordinary sailors in Britain's long nineteenth century.

Also from @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, we're looking for someone to review Sarah Flew's 'Charitable Giving in Victorian Britain'. This book looks at the growth of charity in 19th century Britain through the lens of the philanthropic activities of Samuel Jones Loyd, 1st Baron Overstone.

Denae Dyck's 'Biblical Wisdom and the Victorian Literary Imagination' is another exciting release from recent months. Published by @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, it examines the new approaches to sacred texts and biblical interpretations that arose in the Victorian era.

We also have Darren Reid' 'Invoking Empire' from @manchesterup.bsky.social. This title explores the transitional decades between 1860-1900 when countries such as Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand remained part of the British Empire while gaining some degree of self-government.

Some of our new titles for review include...

Sabrina Gilchrist Hadyk's 'The Waltzing Body in Victorian Literature' from @oxfordacademic.bsky.social – the first book-length study of the waltz in Victorian literature 💃
