This book is about selected Victorian texts and authors that in
many cases have never before been subject to sustained scholarly
attention. Taking inspiration from the pioneeringly capacious
approach to the hidden hinterland of Victorian fiction adopted by
scholars like John Sutherland and Franco Moretti, this
energetically revisionist volume takes advantage of recent
large-scale digitisation projects that allow unprecedented access
to hitherto neglected literary texts and archives. Blending lively
critical engagement with individual texts and close attention to
often surprising trends in the production and reception of prose
fiction across the Victorian era, this book will be of use to
anyone interested in re-evaluating the received meta-narratives of
Victorian literary history.With an afterword by John Sutherland
