Nineteenth Century Novel

Devoted to exploring the fiction of nineteenth-century British novelists from Jane Austen through Thomas Hardy. Particular attention is paid to prevalent genres, especially the mixing of romance and realism, narrative and plot structures, imagery patterns, character types and anti-types, and thematic concerns, which usually involve some sort of conflict between the self and society, the individual and institutions (or the environment).
