Dear Reader by Garrett Stewart

This volume intercepts two tendencies in the recent criticism of fiction: the blanket audience determinations of ideological critique and the thinness of historicizing discourse analysis when divorced from literary history's own discursive field.
This is a work of the first importance, a major account of an entire century of British fictionAt once a powerful theoretical intervention, a sweeping literary history of the genre of the novel, and a collection of dazzling close readings of both canonical and popular fiction, it promises to become one of the truly indispensable books on the nineteenth-century novel.--Jay Clayton, Vanderbilt University
