'A marked feature of the collection is the contributors’ investment in tracing the biographical, literary, political and publication histories of Dunlop’s writing ... [The book is] an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as ensuring its contribution not only to studies of Dunlop, but also to future scholarship of colonial women’s writing, global Romanticism, Australian literature, periodical studies and settler-colonial studies.'
