Reviews

Ambitious in scope and at times edgily contentious in tone, Zemka's book centers on the figure of the moment, which she defines as a time of heightened perception, of religious or aesthetic illumination, or of other sudden, meaningful eruption into the flow of the increasingly rationalized or abstract time of modern capitalist society. --Recent Studies in the Nineteenth Century


'… sophisticated and compelling … [An] ambitious and stimulating study … that makes one rethink the nature of Victorian fiction.' Nick Daly, Victorian Studies
