Johns Hopkins University Press Reform Acts
Book SynopsisBy including novels written from a range of political perspectives, Vanden Bossche discovers patterns in Victorian thinking that are easily recognized in today's assumptions about social hierarchy.Trade ReviewChris R. Vanden Bossche explores the subject of reform as the dominant ideal in English progressive politics... his work does offer some illuminating insights into this particular trait of Victorian self-representation. Times Literary Supplement Students of 19th-century history, literature, and political science will find fresh insights here. Choice Thoughtful... persuasive... The key contribution of the book is the way Vanden Bossche highlights curious and subtle rhetorical tricks whereby writers of the Whig and Tory side seek to align the interests of the working class with their own. -- John Plotz Journal of British Studies A welcome and timely boost to scholarship in the relationship between literature and politics in mid-nineteenth-century Britain. -- Simon Rennie Review of English StudiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgments1.
