Description
Nineteenth-Century Literature in Transition: The 1860s offers a comprehensive examination of one of the most pivotal decades in literary history. This seventh volume in the Nineteenth-Century Literature in Transition series explores the dramatic shifts in literary production, aesthetic values, and cultural concerns that defined the 1860s.
The collection investigates how writers responded to rapid social, political, and technological changes of the era, including industrialization, evolving gender roles, and imperial expansion. Through careful analysis of major and minor works, the contributors demonstrate how the 1860s served as a bridge between Victorian literature and modernism.
Edited by Pamela K. Gilbert, a leading scholar in nineteenth-century studies, this volume provides essential insights into the period’s major literary figures, emerging genres, and critical debates. It appeals to scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complex transitions that shaped modern literature.
