She considers key issues ... Read more

    Democratic Imaginations in Nineteenth-Century Fiction

This assumes that the novel is structured by bourgeois ideology and morality, so that its default position is conservative and hegemonic. Such critique comes alike from Marxists, readers of nineteenth-century liberalism, and critics making claims for the working-class novel, and systematically under ... Read more
