Published on 2019-10-15 by Princeton University Press
This book challenges basic assumptions about Victorian fiction, which was not always great, or even good, in the eyes of its critics.
It was only in the late 1970s that literary critics constructed a prestigious version of British realism.
This title examines criticism of Victorian novels since the 1850s and suggests how we can rethink our practices and perceptions about books we think we know.

After marrying Olivia Langdon in 1870, he moved to Hartford, Connecticut.
He had 4 children including 3 daughters: Susan, Clara and Jeanne and a son who died prematurely.
In his early novels, Mark Twain evokes his travels in Europe and Polynesia (The Journey of the Innocents, 1869) by mocking the prejudices and conduct of his compatriots, as well as his period as a researcher of gold and journalist on the Comstock Lode, in Hard Times (Mark Twain) (1872).
Sent by his journal in Polynesia in 1866, Mark Twain spends 4 months, sympathizes with sailors and whalers, rents a horse, and notes the dramatic decline of the original population, Kanaka Maoli.
He reports reports and a series of letters published by the Sacramento Union, and then collected in a book in 1947, Letters from Hawaii.It is thanks to his two novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885) that he gains fame as a comic writer.
Mark Twain, however, writes in the second part of his work more serious texts pessimistically denouncing the excesses of civilization and immorality erected in morality.
The end of her life is clouded by financial troubles, as well as the death of one of her daughters at age 24 caused by meningitis and the death of his wife.
He loses a second girl, aged 29, drowned in her bathtub after an epileptic seizure.
