The rich diversity of novelists and genres that characterise Victorian fiction are explored through the work of a wide variety of writers, and the fiction is related to its 19th-century context. Each of the book’s four chronological chapters examines a distinct phase in the development of the novel.

Seperate sections are devoted to Dickins, Thackeray, Charlotte and Emily Bronte, Gissing, Stevenson and Hardy.

The novels of a host of other writers are also discussed as examples of the specialized sub-genres which flourished during this period of social, cultural and intellectual change. These include the historical novel, the social-problem novel, and ‘sensational’ fiction.

The updated and expanded appendices provide invaluable reference material for further exploration of this fascinating period of the English novel. Although written primarily for students of English literature, this lucid and lively study will be of interest to all those who enjoy Victorian fiction.
