About this product

Product Information

In this volume Elizabeth Ermarth looks at the Victorian novel, not only tracing the form but also placing it in a historical context. The author analyzes the key novelists of the period, including George Eliot, Dickens, the Brontes, Thackeray, Trollope and Hardy. She also considers the social and cultural conditions which formed the backdrop to their work, such as the controversial work of Darwin and the Idustrial Revolution. The issues in Victorian fiction which the author discusses include: the question of the individual as historical self; the idea of history; social and collective order; the Woman Question , gender and culture; the laws of nature, contrasting with Romantics' view.
