'Focused on three important Victorian novelists, Charles Dickens, Edward Bulwer Lytton, and George Eliot ... Plagiarizing the Victorian Novel is an illuminating, stylish, and necessary archeology of some of these lost works.' Monica F. Cohen, The Review of English Studies 'Abraham's book, among its other aspects, demonstrates a seismic shift in English studies over the past half-century. Plagiarizing the Victorian Novel presents itself as part of a specialism-wide, co-operative effort.' John Sutherland, The Times Literary Supplement 'Plagiarising the Victorian Novel makes a useful contribution to the ongoing conversation surrounding forms of textual afterlife, recognizing the productive overlap between issues of plagiarism and those of identity, fraud, agency and intent ...' Elly McCausland, Dickens Quarterly 'Adam Abraham's meticulously researched, expertly theorized, and engagingly written Plagiarizing the Victorian Novel upends traditional conceptions of the canon ...' Carrie Sickmann, Reception: Texts, Readers, Audiences, History '... the book makes for pleasurable reading.
