Reviews

* ' General volumes of literary history rarely offer themselves as serious and original criticism, and never as good reads. Philip Davis's Victorian contribution to The Oxford English Literary History is an exception on all counts. Seemingly at ease through what seems the whole range of Victorian thought and literature, so that the most complex ideas emerge under his presentation as lucid and interesting, Davis is particularly impressive in the way he punctuates the work with detailed and convincing readings of dozens of works. And while his broad picture of Victorian literary culture is forcefully and coherently worked out, he is quite remarkably sensitive to the particulars of language and the subtle movement of literary writings. ' - Nineteenth-Century Literature

* 'Victorian literature here is not simply an object of professional study: Davis really likes it; more, he respects it. This shows both in the quality of his criticism and in the fullness and fairness of its coverage.' - Nineteenth-Century Literature

* 'Each section concludes with brilliantly sensitive readings of particular novels, poems, dramas, or nonfiction prose works.' - Nineteenth-Century Literature

* '... presents, to beginners and advanced scholars alike, a remarkable portrait of a literature reimagining itself through enormous changes - intellectual, social, political - that are reflected (and created) by brilliant (and sometimes grotesque) experiments in language and form.' - Nineteenth-Century Literature

* 'Davis has written an excellent guide to the major Victorians. The achievement of this accessible, superbly readable survey is to allow the multiplicity and complexity of Victorian literature to emerge ... His kind of literary history is refreshingly energetic'' - Alice Jenkins, THES,

Description

* Launching the 21st-century successor to the Oxford History of English Literature, this and its companion volume inaugurate a new era in literary history, with an emphasis not just on canonical texts and authors but on the contexts in which literature was written, and its relationship to its period.

* The General Editor is Jonathan Bate, King Alfred Professor of English Literature at the University of Liverpool, and a major scholar of both the Renaissance and the Romantic periods.

* This volume is fresh and broadranging assessment of fifty years in which literature flourished and science, thought, and belief were revolutionized.

* Davis shows Victorian writers engaged with serious enquiry - into society and the individual, morality and the market, democracy, and the existence of God and the purpose of human life.

* Covers all main genres, and writers as diverse as Tennyson and Wilkie Collins, Darwin and Newman, the Brontës and J. S. Mill, George Eliot and Hopkins, and many less canonical figures.

* A major contribution to our understanding of the period's significance in the culminating crisis of the Western conscience.

Inaugurating a major new series, successor to the Oxford History of English Literature but excitingly new in its emphasis on 'literary history', this volume covers the flowering of Victorian literature, from the decade when Tennyson started writing In Memoriam and Darwin embarked on the Beagle to the publication of Hardy's first great novels and the death of George Eliot.

The Victorian era produced a literature of diversity and experimentation, engaged with powerful controversies and heartfelt arguments that lie at the centre of the formation of the modern world. It has often been misrepresented, either as an age of dull and rigid certainty or one of anxious and depressive morbidity, but what distinguishes the writing of the period - from its origins in the 1830s to its crisis point around 1880 - is its power of serious inquiry. It poses questions about the relation between society and the individual, the rival claims of market and morality, the form and function of democracy, and, above all, the existence or non-existence of God and the purposes of human life. Such concerns make this a time in which literature has a new urgency and vitality, and lies close to the heart of a culminating crisis of the Western conscience.

The series will enlighten and inspire not only everyone studying, teaching, and researching in English Literature, but all keen readers of English fiction.

Readership: Scholars and students of Victorian writing across all genres.

读至high realism这里,打算先停下来好了。因为很多作者和作品都不了解,所以看的时候其实只能看懂一些generalization的部分。这种书不是用来这样读的呢。
