The Literature of Change

Více o knize

Focusing on the works of three significant nineteenth-century novelists, the book explores how they depicted social change and its challenges. It highlights Mrs. Gaskell's lesser-studied novels, "Sylvia's Lovers" and "Cousin Phillis," while also addressing her views on social change alongside Engels. The author aims to elevate Hale White's contributions, particularly "Revolution in Tanner's Lane" and "Clara Hopgood." Additionally, the analysis of women in Hardy's novels provides fresh insights, culminating in a discussion of love and marriage in later Victorian literature.
