Recenzii
a fine book about a series of equally fantastic techno-imaginary developments in Britain beginning in the 1820s ... I admire the disciplined focus Grossman demonstrates in his emphasis on the novel, and in particular on the novel as a precision tool wielded by Dickens
Grossman offers new and thought-provoking ways of thinking about each of the three novels that he considers.
What stands out about Charles Dickensâs Networks is the clever and convincing manner in which historical and theoretical insights concerning the Victorian transport system are used to illuminate particular episodes, generic features, and textual strategies from Dickens's fiction ... in developing such a compelling and nuanced account of the way in which the public transport revolution both impacted upon and was mediated by Dickens's fiction, this study opens up spatio-temporal dimensions of Victorian society and culture in a manner that deserves and will reward further work.
