Through revisionary readings of familiar nineteenth-century texts \u003cem\u003eThe English Novel in History 1840-1895\u003c\/em\u003e takes a multidisciplinary approach to literary history. It highlights how narrative shifts from one construction of time to another and reformulates fundamental ideas of identity, nature and society.\u003cbr\u003e Elizabeth Ermarth discusses the range of novels alongside other cultural material, including painting, science, religious, political and economic theory. She explores the problems of how a society, as defined in democratic terms, can accommodate political, gender and class differences without resorting to hierarchy; and how narrowly conceived economic agendas compete with social cohesion.\u003cbr\u003e Students, advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and specialists will find this text invaluable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54060645581144,"sku":null,"price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415015004.jpg?v=1769553031","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-english-novel-in-history-1840-1890","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
