Synopsis

With the "great traditions" from Austen through Dickens and Eliot to Hardy read here alongside the non-canonical best-sellers of the period, we get a revised picture of an evolving readership narrated rather than merely implied, the mass audience conscripted, written "with", figured in. Redirecting response aesthetics away from a priori reader function toward this reader figure, this volume intercepts two tendencies in the recent criticism of fiction: the blanket audience determinations of ideological critique and the thinness of historicizing discourse analysis when divorced from literary history's own discursive field.
