The York Notes Companion to Victorian Literature explores the drama, poetry and prose of an age of great innovation, than engaged with debates about empire, science and evolution, print culture, and gender. Examining classic texts such as Gaskell's North and South and Tennyson's In Memoriam, alongside lesser known works from the genre of sensation fiction and the fin de siècle, the Companion explores examples from a range of genres in detailed commentaries, and guides students through key literary theories and debates. Connecting texts with their historical and scholarly contexts, this is essential reading for any student of Victorian literature.

Each York Notes Companion provides:

Analysis of key texts and debates
Extended commentaries for further in-depth analysis of individual texts
Exploration of historical, social and cultural contexts
Annotations clarifying literary terms and events in history
Modern theoretical perspectives in practice
Timelines and annotated further reading

Beth Palmer is a Teaching Fellow in Victorian Literature at the University of Leeds.

Industry Reviews

"The book was well written and flowed neatly, linking ideas and works by different authors, and as ever quotations help to outline different points... The book was very useful, particularly its extended commentary on Dorian Gray"

- Kimberley Simpson, English Student Warwick University
