Victorian Fiction and the Insights of Sympathy by Brigid Lowe

This book explores the importance of sympathy as a central idea behind Victorian fiction, and an animating principle of novel reading generally. Sympathy, Brigid Lowe argues, deserves a much more important role as both a subject and a guiding principle for literary criticism.

'This book is a great and not-to-be missed treat for anyone with an interest in Victorian cultural history' —‘The Dickensian’

Brigid Lowe is a Research Fellow at Trinity College, the University of Cambridge.
