This Pivot engages with current debates about anthropocentrism and
the Anthropocene to propose a reappraisal of the realist novel in
the second half of the nineteenth century. Through three case
studies, it argues for ‘human tissue’ as a conceptual tool for
reading that brings together biology, literature and questions of
layering. This new approach is shown to be especially salient to
the Victorian period, when the application of ‘tissue’ to
biology first emerges. The book is distinctive in bringing together
theoretical concerns around realism and the Anthropocene – two
major topics in literary criticism – and presenting a new
methodology to approach this conjunction, demonstrated through
original readings of Charles Kingsley, George Eliot, and Emile Zola
and two English-language writers he influenced (George Moore and
Vernon Lee).
