Very interesting, easy to read, it requires though a basic understanding and knowledge of 18th- and 19th- century British literature to get the utmost of all the information and texts mentioned in the book. I can't say that I was well acquainted with every text/author in the book but this is hardly the author's fault. I actually discovered new places and texts of interest so all in all I'm pretty happy for this.
