First published in 2005, this book argues that, due to political
and ideological shifts in the last decades of the nineteenth
century a new depiction of social class was possible in the English
novel. Late-century writers such as Gissing, James, Hardy and Wells
question the middle-class Victorian views of class that had
dominated the novel for decades through the disruption of
traditional novelistic conventions. With reference to relevant
maps, journalism, artwork, photography and specific historical
events, this book contextualizes novels by these writers within
their historical moment. In doing so, it illuminates the
relationship between fiction and history in the late nineteenth-
and early twentieth century fiction. This book will be of interest
to those studying late nineteenth-century literature and history.
