Critics Review
Praise for I Have Seen the Future
“Absorbing … A biography that is prodigiously researched, fantastically interesting and extremely well written. Steffens would have been pleased by how well Hartshorn has turned him inside out.” —The New York Times Sunday Book Review
“Well–researched and Well–written.” —The Wall Street Journal
“This outstanding work offers immediate appeal for both students and practitioners of the journalistic art, while those concerned about freedom of the press and the role of investigative journalism will take comfort in Steffens’s legacy as artfully told here. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal (starred)
“This big, lively book is very well–researched and presents a fascinating history of the age when magazine writers steered national opinion.” —American Journalism Review
Praise for James Joyce and Trieste
“Hartshorn’s information is collected not just from the standard sources … His research is admirable and, for the foreseeable future, this short, readable book should be the major authority on an extremely important period of Joyce’s life.” —Choice
“Peter Hartshorn provides the most readable and detailed account of James Joyce’s Trieste years thus far.” —Zack Bowen
