Description

This succinct and compelling review contains a fraction of the main abstract showpieces of nineteenth-century England and is jam-packed with fascinating information. This book is for you if you've ever needed advice on which Thomas Hardy book to start with or just needed to hold your own at a party with English professors who are drinking too much. Instant English Literature offers exceptional highlights, such as section rundowns, arrangements of's who, true to life and chronicled goodies, title records, and a large group of delineations, photographs, and kid's shows, in addition to explaining why Reverend Patrick Bronte copied his children's new red shoes and whether George Eliot was a man or woman, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. When we think of the nineteenth century, we picture a bustling era marked by pioneer expansion, unexpected developments, the construction of railroads, great research, and the Great Exhibition. However, one notices a disagreement while reading scholarship written by Romantic and Victorian researchers, or what Stefanie Markovits refers to as "an emergency of activity." Markovits outlines this claim in her book The Crisis of Action in Nineteenth-Century English Literature by focusing on four writers: William Wordsworth, Arthur Hugh Clough, George Eliot, and Henry James.
