“Pearson’s work makes significant contributions to the study of each of its four central authors and connects in interesting ways with work undertaken on female authorship and the stage in relation to writers like Charlotte Brontë and Mary Elizabeth Braddon. Victorian Writers and the Stage is a valuable and highly insightful monograph that traverses literary and theatrical history with ease.” (Beth Palmer, English Studies, Vol. 98 (2), 2017)
