About this book
Reviews
“This terrifically readable collection of essays is an authoritative and imaginative intervention in contemporary debates about Victorian literature and culture. The book’s individual chapters are characterized by considerable narrative drive as well as scholarly depth, and its Introduction is both a moving tribute to its dedicatee Sally Ledger’s life and legacy and an engaged and engaging account of the trajectory of Victorian studies over the last couple of decades. Every Victorianist will want not only to consult the book but to read it closely.” (Matthew Beaumont, Department of English, University College London, UK)
