Media reviews
Sharpe's London Magazine
"profane expressions, inconceivably coarse language, and revolting scenes and descriptions by which its pages are disfigured"
Spectator
"a morbid love for the coarse, not to say the brutal"
North American Review
"The reader of Acton Bell gains no enlarged view of mankind, giving a healthy action to his sympathies, but is confined to a narrow space of life, and held down, as it were, by main force, to witness the wolfish side of his nature literally and logically set forth."
[English] society owes thanks, not sneers, to those who dare to shew her the image of her own ugly, hypocritical visage".
"...like the fatal melody of the siren's song, its very perfections render it more dangerous, and therefore more carefully to be avoided."
