'M. O. Grenby offers a beautifully written and illuminating account of a neglected but useful literary source for the British conservative response to the French Revolution and the 'Revolution crisis' in Britain ... this is a thorough study, yet one written with pace, cogency and brio, enlivened by many apt excerpts from the pithy, sometimes enjoyably caustic summaries of Dr Grenby's raw materials.' History 'Filling in a long-standing blank in our perception of the Romantic-era novel, The Anti-Jacobin Novel offers a valuable contribution to British literary history, as well as powerful arguments for revisiting the way in which literary criticism has tended to represent British politics and society of the 1790s in the last few decades. For these, and other reasons, Grenby has done the critical community a great service. ... ground-breaking ...'. Romanticism
