Description: "This book is an invaluable resource which confers a unifying, frequently provocative, perspective on nineteenth century prose, surprising in its detail and diversity....It is impossible in the space of this review to do justice to the richness of this book in the sheer amount of information conveyed and the wealth of ideas generated in its juxtapositions of texts. The scholarly apparatus of the book is faultless....There are excellent bibliographies for each section, full biographies on individual authors together with selected editions of their works and selected criticism and, finally, a decent index."
