Title: master of words
Review: very long-winded, very slow-moving, very erudite, crammed with tiny & detailed footnotes and so compelling one can barely put it down! how is this possible? perhaps it is that the world of the past is so perfectly evoked that the reader actually becomes a victorian and takes up residence in the book. at any rate it is magical. hats off to you, sir! perfectly brilliant and one of the very best reads i have ever had.
