Victorian fiction1995

"As John Sutherland demonstrates, author-publisher relations played a central role in determining the success of new novels, with some impressive achievements on both sides. Informative on the Victorian literary and cultural scene, this new reissue of John Sutherland's 1995 study is essential reading for all those interested in the evolution of the Victorian novel. This reissue includes a new Preface, which situates Victorian publishing in current research being carried out on the history of the book and print culture."--Jacket.
