"Through his engaged and accessible analysis of social investigation, Seaber casts new light on matters such as identity, performativity, authenticity, subjectivity, and the relationship between the observer and the observed. This excellent study deserves to become the standard work on the topic." - Dr Nick Hubble, Reader in English, Brunel University London, UK
"Luke Seaber's book provides a much needed critical history of incognito social investigation, illuminating the methodology employed by the writers who went undercover, tracing major developments in the genre, and exploring its subcategories of casual wards, tramping, work, and settlement housing. With his incisive analysis and thorough contextualization of texts, Seaber offers an astute overview of the genre and fresh insights on individual works. This book is essential reading for a greater understanding of incognito social investigation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries." - Dr Laura Vorachek, Associate Professor at University of Dayton Ohio, USA

“This is a fascinating study that explores the genre of writings produced by ‘incognito social investigators’ from the 1860s to more recent times. … there is much of considerable interest in this volume. It deserves to be read, and for those with an interest in Orwell they will find his impact and legacy cropping up through the book.” (Nick Crowson, George Orwell Studies, Vol. 2 (1), 2017)
“Seaber’s study is a scholarly and accessible overview of a fascinating and oddly overlooked genre. As such, it offers a rare insight into to the cultural and literary context that helped shape one of Orwell’s most highly regarded works, in the process significantly expanding the scope of Orwell studies.” (Luke Davies, The Orwell Society, Issue 11, 2017)
