In this volume some of the foremost literary scholars working in Victorian studies have been brought together to contribute a series of seventeen new essays. The topics include such centrally canonical figures as Dickens, George Eliot, and Matthew Arnold, and lesser-known figures including Thomas Lovell Beddoes, Anne Thackeray Ritchie, and the ‘Spasmodic’ poets. Taken together, this collection presents representative findings from some of the best research currently underway in the rich field of Victorian Literature.
Reviews:
