“Chambers combines literary history with biographical and critical analysis. … Chambers deals with a fascinating variety of texts covering over two centuries. … Chambers writes in an engaging jargon-free style that should appeal to both academic and non-academic readers … .” (Wasafiri, Vol. 32 (1), March, 2017)
“Britain Through Muslim Eyes: Literary Representations 1780-1988, explores a fascinating selection of memoirs, travelogues, short stories and novels by writers of Muslim heritage. … Throughout, Chambers provides historical and biographical information to give further context to the writings she discusses. … Chambers has added a new and important dimension to literary studies on Muslim writing.” (Newsline, April, 2016)
