«'… Adelman's book is judiciously argued and measured in its tone throughout. It is a subtle, important contribution to the growing field of literary criticism that deals with political economy, achieving precisely what it sets out to do: that is, paint a 'portrait of nineteenth-century culture preoccupied with, and troubled by, the categories of idleness, repose and aesthetic contemplation'.'
