Atonement and Self-Sacrifice in Nineteenth-Century Narrative - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Schramm, Jan-Melissa (University of Cambridge)
This book explores the role of sacrifice in the Victorian novel and how the idea of self-abnegation was placed under pressure by increasing industrialisation and democratisation. Work by Dickens, Gaskell, Eliot and others registers the tensions caused by evolving attitudes at a time of legal and theological change.
