Some writers of the Victorian period, as well as more recent
critics, have argued that the prose style of Victorian fiction aims
to efface itself or that an absence of style may in itself
represent the nineteenth-century ideal. This collection provides a
major assessment of style in Victorian fiction and demonstrates
that style - the language, techniques and artistry of prose - is
inseparable from meaning and that it is through the many resources
of style that the full compass of meaning makes itself known.
Leading scholars in the field present an engaging assessment of
major Victorian novelists, illustrating how productive and
illuminating close attention to literary style can be.
Collectively, they build a fresh and nuanced understanding of how
style functioned in the literature of the nineteenth century, and
propose that the fiction of this era demands we think about what
style does, as much as what style is.
