Visual images included in the essays on form and little magazines are particularly helpful in understanding how poetic and prose forms aligned with fin de siècle notions in literature. -- Keelia Estrada Moeller, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities * Victorian Periodicals Review, Volume 53, Number 1, Spring 2020 *
