Writing the Stage Coach Nation: Locality on the Move in Nineteenth-Century British Literature
Livesey, Ruth (Royal Holloway, University of London)
Many Victorian novels take place not in the steam-powered railway present of that era, but in the recent past: a world moving by stage and mail coach. Ruth Livesey explores the historical consciousness of such works by Dickens, Brontë, Eliot, and Hardy, and explains how they convey an idea of a national belonging through a sense of local place.
