Description

Book Synopsis
Explores apparently inconsequential objects in popular Victorian texts to make contact with their fugitive meanings. Developing an innovative approach to analyzing nineteenth-century fiction, this title reconnects the things readers unwittingly ignore to the stories they tell.

Trade Review
"Ultimately, what Freedgood generates is far more than a new set of readings of key Victorian texts. In her important project of recuperating the meaning of things, Freedgood demonstrates the considerable delights and rewards of literal-mindedness." - Victorian Studies"
