This book introduces students to the Victorian novel and its
contexts, teaching strategies for reading and researching
nineteenth-century literature. Combining close reading with
background information and analysis it considers the Victorian
novel as a product of the industrial age by focusing on popular
texts including Dickens's Oliver Twist, Gaskell's North and South
and Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge. The Victorian Novel in
Context examines the changing readership resulting from the growth
of mass literacy and the effect that this had on the form of the
novel. Taking texts from the early, mid and late Victorian period
it encourages students to consider how serialization shaped the
nineteenth-century novel. It highlights the importance of politics,
religion and the evolutionary debate in 'classic' Victorian texts.
Addressing key concerns including realist writing, literature and
imperialism, urbanization and women's writing, it introduces
students to a variety of the most important critical approaches to
the novels. Introducing texts, contexts and criticism, this is a
lively and up-to-date resource for anyone studying the Victorian
novel.
