Covering writers who worked between the years 1867 and 1901, this volume emphasizes nonfiction prose: letters, journals, diaries, sermons, speeches, reviews, biographies, autobiographies and travel writings, as well as books and essays treating historical, philosophical, political, critical and scientific themes. A comprehensive appendix entitled Victorians on Rhetoric and Prose Style provides a fresh and expanded context for interpretation. It includes a sampling of a wide range of Victorian criticism, with much of the material not widely known or available. A selected bibliography is also included, focusing on the most important studies of the social, cultural, historical, intellectual, rhetorical, artistic and literary dimensions of Victorian nonfiction writing.
30 entries include: Matthew Arnold, Samuel Butler, Charles Darwin, Charles M. Doughty, Edmund Gosse, T. H. Huxley, George Meredith, George Moore, John Morley, Walter Pater, Bernard Shaw, Leslie Stephen, Robert Louis Stevenson, Anthony Trollope and Oscar Wilde.
