Reviews

'... Matz's fresh take on familiar classics, makes The Novel and the Problem of New Life potentially appealing to a general, nonacademic audience ... As a piece of original research, the book also makes compelling contributions to a range of fields, including Victorian and genre studies ... Matz reveals here a rich countertradition of procreative skepticism, running in parallel to the marriage plot and even supplanting it as the characteristic fiction of its era.' Lindsay Wilhelm, Los Angeles Review of Books
