Hardcover. No longer do critics accept fierce divides between the Victorians and moderns. Recent approaches to gender, cultural studies and historicism provide fresh means of assessment. Central to this is the recognition that if the Victorians invented us, we, in turn, have invented the Victorians. How we have done so is the focus of this collection.
