This volume covers the great novelists of the high Victorian age, from the death of Scott in 1832 to the death of George Eliot in 1880. In this period, as the political unease of the first two decades of the century gave way to stability, the novel came into its own. Providing an overview of both the major and minor novelists, The Victorian Novel devotes separate chapters to Thackeray, Dickens, the Brontës, George Eliot, Trollope, and Meredith and sets the writers and their works against the social and historical background that produced them. A chronological table shows the other literary works and events of this popular time in English writing.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From the death of Scott to the death of George Eliot - that is, from 1832 until 1880 - this volume covers the great novelists of the high Victorian age: the period when the novel came into its own. Professor Horsman shows how the upsurge of new novelists, and the great increase in numbers of titles published, was grounded in the political, social, and demographic changes that took place as the political unease of the first decades covered here gave way to greater stability. Against this background he places the great and minor novelists, devoting separate chapters to Thackeray, Dickens, the Brontes, George Eliot, Trollope, and Meredith. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002591184
