More about the book

Exploring Victorian narratives by prominent middle-class authors, this book examines the portrayal of finance capitalism and its impact on societal perceptions of class. It highlights how figures like Dickens, Gaskell, Thackeray, and Macaulay reflect middle-class anxieties about a system still influenced by a patrician elite. By integrating insights from contemporary historians, it proposes a fresh sociological framework for understanding mid-Victorian literature and its relationship with the prevailing power dynamics of the time.
