[hardy-l] New Review of Herbert Tucker's "Epic: Britain's Heroic Muse 1790 - 1910"

[Rosemarie Morgan]

This is one remarkable review!

I wanted to say that, should TTHA receive review (essays) of this quality I 
will include them in a new section (I have just invented) in *The Hardy 
Review* called Review Essays. This will remain a component of the Book 
Reviews section of the HR but will obviously acquire a slightly different 
status.  We will begin with Murfin Ross's exemplary piece. This is not to 
say that, in general, we will be looking for longer reviews -- far from it. 
Genuine research items of the kind Murfin has produced take considerable 
time and wisdom to create and length may be the means of the endeavour, but 
not the end.

Thank you Ross --  and also thank you Kathie for helping to bring this 
superb piece to fruition.

Cheers
Rosemarie
