This authoritative survey examines how the Victorian middle-classes perceived themselves, through analyses of the literature of the period. Asking how the middle classes distinguished themselves from their forbears, Julian Wolfreys reads in detail major novels by: - Charles Dickens - Elizabeth Gaskell - Wilkie Collins - George Eliot - Thomas Hardy. Wolfreys explores the novelists' constructions of modernity, national identity and their understanding of 'becoming historical' in distinction from that of previous generations. He offers illuminating close readings of texts and examines narratives set in a recent past in order to investigate the role of cultural memory in the making of identity. Also featuring a helpful Chronology and an Annotated Bibliography to aid further study, this stimulating guide encourages readers to reassess the work of key writers of the nineteenth century.

Professor Barbara Hardy is a noted critic of nineteenth-century fiction but her essays on Dickens have hitherto been scattered widely among critical journals and anthologies. The seven studies she has here collected, introduced, and in part revised, together make up a sustained exploration of the moral concern which informs the novelist's work and gives to his portrayal of society and the individual its unique quality. A general discussion of the moral nature of Dickens' art leads to a study of patterns of change and conversion and this in turn to a close examination of four representative novels: Pickwick Papers, Martin Chuzzlewit, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations.

The Writers and their Work series contains three essays on Dickens, an account of biographical and critical studies by K.J. Fielding and appreciations of the early and the late novels by Trevor Blount and Barbara Hardy respectively. Professor Hardy's present essay, the third Writers and their Work Special, combines a biographical introduction with a complete survey of the novels, sketches, and other prose works. Dickens originally learned his craft as a journalist and the essay begins with a chapter on his first descriptions of London, Sketches by Boz: it traces the process whereby his observation of city life and social change gradually developed into an elaborate fictional technique. Of the early novels Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby are the most fully discussed, with especial attention to Dickens' insight into criminal psychology in the former. In the later novels, beginning with Bleak House, Hardy finds a closer unity of theme and structure, the result of the firmer grasp of social criticism which Dickens displays during the 1850?s and 1860?s. There had been plenty of exposure of contemporary injustices and abuses in the earlier fiction, but in the later the confrontation between rich and poor has become more urgent, the comedy less carefree, the comic and serious elements more closely blended. In these later novels too, Hardy notes an effort to bring the imagination more closely to bear upon the inner life of the principal characters. Dickens does not attempt the kind of novel which is shaped by inner action as George Eliot and Henry James were to do: he keeps an external focus on society but strives within this dimension for a fuller access to the inward conflicts of characters such as Edith in Dombey and Son and Pip in Great Expectations. Barbara Hardy (1924-2016) was Professor of English at Birkbeck College, University of London. Her publications include The Novels of George Eliot: A Study in Form; The Appropriate Form: An Essay on the Novel; Middlemarch: Critical Approaches to the Novel; Critical Essays on George Eliot; The Moral Art of Dickens; The Exposure of Luxury: Radical Themes in Thackeray; A Reading of Jane Austen; Tellers and Listeners: The Narrative Imagination; and The Advantages of Lyric, Particularities: Readings in George Eliot.

Raymond Williams begins his brilliantly perceptive study of the English novel in the 1840s, a period of rapid social change brought on by the Industrial Revolution, the struggle for democratic reform, and the growth of cities and towns. Unsettling, indeed critical, for individuals and communities alike, this process of change prompted the novelists of the time to explore new forms of writing. The genius of Dickens, the powerful originality of the Bront? sisters, the passionate vision of George Eliot – all gave new force and humanity to the English novel, whose roots in the evolving community Raymond Williams proceeds to trace through the work of Hardy, Gissing and Wells, and on to D.H. Lawrence.
