Description

Review “Victorian Narratives of the Recent Past is a fine, detailed study of a fascinating topic. The book is scholarly and ranges with ease between overviews of social and academic attitudes and trends to very specific and nuanced readings of texts. … It is also written in a style perfectly accessible to anyone interested in nineteenth-century history, literary criticism and gender studies. There is a good deal to learn from what is a very welcome addition to nineteenth-century studies.” (A. G. van den Broek, The George Eliot Review, Issue 48, September, 2017)  Read more Review “It is rigorous in the research base on which it draws; it is original and distinctive in its carefully and subtly developed argument ... .
