Reviews
"An exciting answer to classic accounts of the novel and the newspaper as analogous national formations, this book shows how nineteenth-century novelists theorised both the novel and the news in searching and self-conscious ways. These original readings reveal novelists reflecting on the changing landscape of news, with its deceptions, technological innovations and its claims to convey the real.-- ""Caroline Levine, Cornell University"" An inventive, thought-provoking investigation of a variety of nineteenth-century novels in dialogue with the evolution of the newspaper press.--Helena Goodwyn, Northumbria University ""Victorian Periodicals Review"" Plotting the News in the Victorian Novel makes a significant intervention in debates around the conceptualisation of news in the nineteenth-century. [...] Ultimately the work offers a fresh take on some familiar novels and invokes the power of Victorian fiction to theorise the concept of ""the news"" for its readers.--Beth Palmer, University of Surrey ""English Studies"""
