Authors whose works are discussed in this collaborative book,
covering a 'long' nineteenth century, include Sterne, Fielding,
Scott, Austen, Mary Shelley, Emily BrontA", Gaskell, Dickens,
George Eliot, Conrad, Woolf, and Lawrence. Most of the chapters
focus on a single work, among them Tristram Shandy, Wuthering
Heights, Bleak House, Middlemarch and Lord Jim, asking why, in the
end, does this novel matter, and what does it invite us to 'see'.
The contributors examine aspects of narrative technique which are
crucial to interpretation, and which bring something new or
distinctive into fiction. The introduction asks whether such
experimentation may be driven by challenges to society's 'master
narratives' - for instance, by a desire to circumvent the reader's
ideological defences - and whether, in a radical model of
canon-formation, such narrative innovation may be an aspect of
canonicity.
