Download or read book Victorian Connections written by Jerome J. McGann and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Victorian Connections, each contributor was asked to write about anything in the Victorian period, with only one proviso: that the essay seek to draw connections with other disciplines, fields, periods, methodologies or authors. The compliment the essays pay to each other - the way they complement each other - lies in their diversity. Another feature of the book is the way it grounds its work in a particular historical and institutional context. That context is then illustrated in the succeeding essays. These essays, at once theoretically literate and historically rigorous, define the shape that Victorian studies will be taking in the immediate future.
