First published in 1977, this book studies three important
nineteenth-century novelists: Mrs Gaskell, William Hale White and
Thomas Hardy. They are all provincial novelists who wrote about
social change and the attendant problems and pressures this brought
with it. Unlike previous critics, who have tended to concentrate on
her 'social-problem' novels, here the author treats Gaskell's
Sylvia's Lovers and Cousin Phillis as central texts. However a
chapter also examines Gaskell and Engels perception of social
change in Manchester. This book also seeks to correct Hale White's
neglect, anointing Revolution in Tanner's Lane and Clara Hopgood
major works. The survey of women in Hardy's novels represents an
illuminating new angle and leads on to a discussion of love and
marriage in later Victorian fiction.
