«
'This study of Victorian textual sources by Granata (Univ. of Pavia) is only partly about home aquariums. It is also a social history, a study of a different side of Victorian England… This book interestingly documents the rise not only of popular curiosity about science but also of the media-fueled knowledge taken for granted today.'
