Steampunkology: Dolittle, Walter Benjamin, and the Nineteenth-Century Child
Pike, David L. (2011). Buried Pleasure: Doctor Dolittle, Walter Benjamin, and the Nineteenth-Century Child. MODERNISM/modernity, 4, 857-875.

Gwen Ellery replied to Gavin Wilson's discussion Wattpad: a new approach to writing and reading."That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation and tips, Gavin! Are authors allowed to include Amazon or other vendor links on your site or within a book? That could be a way to do some approximate tracking..."

I'd love to see more steampunk on Wattpad,…"
