Summary

"With cogent chapters on Dickens, Wilkie Collins and (twice) Meredith texts as a bonus, this elegantly argued study is well worth more than a glance by anyone interested in how imaginative writing and wider currents of social thought interact at an especially dynamic period in English and world history." --Bronte Studies

Author Biography

Timothy L. Carens is Associate Professor of English, College of Charleston.
