Reseña del libro "the victorian novel"

this inspiring survey challenges conventional ways of viewing the victorian novel. the author explores the extremely varied and often experimental prose fiction of the period, paying attention to contemporary bestsellers as well as to major literary works. he reminds the reader that most victorian novelists had their imaginations shaped not by high victorianism, but by the ideals and sensibility of the romantic period, and suggests that their work therefore embodies a tension between idealism and a new materialist objectivity.the volume is based on the premise that a broad understanding of the victorian period powerfully assists our understanding of its prose fiction. for this reason, the author not only provides overviews of the historical and social contexts of the victorian novel, but also considers its relationship to historical, religious and biographical writing. the literary achievements of major novelists receive individual entries, while a section on topics considers issues such as colonialism, scientific speculation, the psychic and the supernatural, and working class reading. written in an accessible style without critical jargon, this imaginative study restores a sense of vital originality to a major body of literature.
