The novel is the literary form that most extensively informs us of
nineteenth-century English culture: not its realities but the
ideologies that shaped social beliefs. Fiction not only reflects
ideologies; it participates in their formation and modification.
But ideologies shift rapidly - more than actualities of personal or
social life, making the form of the novel shift accordingly.
Consideration of four pairs of English novels, each of which
extensively treats the most critical issue of the period - the
survival of the family - shows how changes in ideology prompted
fundamental revisions of fictional techniques and structures.
