Description: | Select Guide Rating This ground-breaking study of sympathetic readings in Victorian fiction breathes new life into contemporary literary criticism. This book explores the importance of sympathy as a central idea behind Victorian fiction, and an animating principle of novel reading generally. Sympathy, Brigid Lowe argues, deserves a much more important role as both a subject and a guiding principle for literary criticism. |
