"Rereading Orphanhood makes a useful contribution to ongoing scholarly and popular debates regarding the family, identity, kinship, connection and inheritance, often engaging with such questions through the diverse perspectives that the orphan figure seems naturally to invite: postcolonialism, gender studies, critical race studies and children's literary studies.--Elly McCausland, University of Oslo ""Dickens Quarterly"" Rereading Orphanhood provides a fascinating, fresh look at the way the orphan figure challenges conventional ideas of culture, family, development, law, inheritance, community, class, gender, and narrative. This collection is theoretically astute and usefully varied, and will reward anyone interested in family dynamics in the literature of the nineteenth century.--Talia Schaffer, Queens College and Graduate Center, CUNY"
