'What if Charles Dickens was typeset as charles dickens?' @amandalastoria asks at the start of her review of Gavin Edwards' _The Case of the Initial Letter: Charles Dickens and the Politics of the Dual Alphabet_. #bookhistory #bookstudies #publishing https://t.co/M8FzlCE4XM
Praise for this book
'The Case of the Initial Letter is fundamentally an effort to redress 'the failure of literary critics and cultural historians to accord the dual alphabet the attention that it deserves'. With all the authority that upper-casing can muster, this is a Good Book.'
Amanda Lastoria, Simon Fraser University, SHARP News
'This study of Dickens's career and his experiences with capital letters and reader reception extend superbly to the book's conclusion, which addresses the rise of Modernism.'
