dissent in the Victorian novel

Edición de la obra Everywhere spoken against

"This study of Victorian fiction's response to religious Nonconformity focuses particularly on the ways Dissent is presented in the novels of the Brontes, Mrs. Gaskell, George Eliot, Dickens, Mrs. Oliphant, and Mark Rutherford. As well as scrutinizing the causes and effects of their varying responses to Dissent, the author explores the wider background of Dissent in the period- its spread and location, its links with the city and with radicalism, and its attitudes to fiction." --Dust jacket.
