A review by rubygranger
The Cambridge Companion to the Victorian Novel by Deirdre David
3.0
2020 Review = offers a comprehensive and complete overview of literary criticism of the Victorian novel; chapters on gender, race, sexuality, sensationalisation, detective fiction etc; I would highly recommend for English Literature students just wanting a taster of the period. There isn't that much depth to the articles (as I said, they're more overviews than anything) but it's a good starting point for research. Accessible.
2017 Review = Interesting and detailed introduction to reading the Victorian novel; however, it does assume that you are already familiar with a lot of literature from this period. I recommend this to all who love the Victorian period because it is very much contextualised -- in a few of the essays, it was actually more history than English literature. Very interesting though.
