Opis

This work examines a sequence of crisis in 19th-century print culture in order to offer an original narrative of what it meant, and what it could have meant to be a Victorian novelist. Combining literary sociology and close readings, the book provides an innovative history of the material pressures and rhetorical struggles that produced, and ultimately shattered the Victorian's understanding of their great novelists.
