About This Book
Many Victorian novels take place not in the steam-powered railway present of that era, but in the recent past: a world moving by stage and mail coach. Ruth Livesey explores the historical consciousness of such works by Dickens, Bronte, Eliot and Hardy and explains how they convey an idea of a national belonging through a sense of local place.
