    by Jessica DeSpain ...
    Series series Ashgate Series in Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Studies

    Reading against the Middle-Class Novel

    by Rob Breton ...
    Redressing a gap in Chartism studies, Rob Breton focuses on the fiction that emerged from the movement, placing it in the context of the Victorian novel and reading it against the works aimed at the middle-class.
