"Tom Mole [...] writes incisively about the politics of visibility in The Bride of Abydos, using Judith Butler to consider the complex matrix of real and subversive freedom in the poem's visualisations: Mole's past writings have proven him an illuminating and sensitive scholar, and this article reconfirms those conclusions"

"Tom Mole adds [...] a brilliant reading of some lesser known illustrations, caricatures and prints"
-Philip Shaw, Keats-Shelley Review

"Tom Mole brilliantly discovers an affinity between Bart Simpson and Byron in his contribution. When attempting to create a memorable visual presentation, the fewer lines used the better, so the 'Byronic' image became less and less close to the physical poet." David Stewart, Years Work in English Studies (2010) 89(1): 596-678.
