More about the book
Set against the backdrop of early nineteenth-century Britain, this study explores the silver-fork novel genre, which captivated middle-class readers despite being criticized as superficial and commercial. These novels, often overshadowed by Jane Austen's works, played a significant role in shaping public opinion and political reform by fostering a connection between the middle classes and aristocratic ideals. The author argues that rather than being dismissed, these novels should be recognized for their persuasive power and influence on societal change.
