The authors are to be commended for their thoroughness in providing clear explanations of the analytical methodology and interpretations of the data produced. By relying on multiple analytical approaches, they conclude that Dickens "would seem to be the 'chief author'" while exercising an additional "degree of influence" through the application of the journal's house style."

• Dickens's Lifetime Reading: Review in Dickens Studies Annual 51 (2020), p. 163: "Litvack presents a comprehensive and well-organized account of what Dickens read and how so many of those readings affected his own views and writings. In addition to naming and explaining the importance of particular works, he lists many of the topics and types of literature read, which will aid future scholarship that delves into these topics in relation to Dickens's life and writings. Litvack notes both that Dickens's works "display evidence of substantial research" and that Dickens as editor of Household Words and All the Year Round was conversant with all of the nonfiction that he published."

• Dickens Posing for Posterity: The Photographs of Herbert Watkins: Review in Dickens Studies Annual 50 (2019), p. 139: "Leon Litvack’s essay addresses the role played by photography in the establishment of Dickens’s authorial persona. In this exhaustively researched study of Herbert Watkins’s photographs of Dickens, Litvack demonstrates Dickens’s engagement with photography and the extent to which the technology facilitated “the ownership and consumption of ‘authentic’ Dickens images by a multitude of readers and admirers,” thus “enhancing his reputation” (100). Litvack details photographic studio practices, and notes that Dickens “recognized the value of photography in developing” the authorial persona—and observes that “studies of Dickens and photography are still rather few”.
