"Allen's original [book].. is dense with picturesque detail, rich in correlation with social, artistic, and technical trends."--The Times Literary Supplement "Allen has made a caring, pioneering attempt towards mapping this vast forest... It is a book which is unlikely to be superseded."--Roy Porter, Annals of Science
