<br/><br/>In the Victorian period, the British novel reached a wide readership and played a major role in the shaping of national and individual identity.As we come to understand the ways the novel contributed to public opinion on religion, gender, sexuality and race, we continue to be entertained and enlightened by the works of Dickens, George Eliot, Thackeray, Trollope and many others. Designed to appeal to readers, these essays reflect the latest approaches to reading and understanding Victorian fiction.
