Victorian domestic novels routinely detect a savage otherness
lurking within the English state and subject. Outlandish English
Subjects in the Victorian Domestic Novel charts the development of
this irony within evangelical and anthropological discourses, and
studies its emergence in the major works of Charles Dickens,
Charlotte Bronte, Wilkie Collins, and George Meredith. Each of
these writers disrupts the certitudes of imperial ideology by
appropriating the language of ethnography, and using it to describe
the social domestic field. Providing fresh readings of both
canonical and neglected novels, this original volume will be of
interest to students and scholars of nineteenth-century literature
and postcolonial studies.
