This dense and comprehensive biography of Edward Garnett, a late nineteenth/early twentieth century reader for publishing houses, took a long time to read but is well worth the time and effort. Most people (including myself) probably have not heard of Garnett but he worked with and promoted many prestigious authors including Joseph Conrad, John Galsworthy and D.H. Lawrence, among others. This is very well researched and gives an in-depth look at the literary world at the time. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
