Why Victorian Literature Still Matters

Philip Davis

Why Victorian Literature Still Matters is a passionate defense of Victorian literature’s enduring impact and importance for readers interested in the relationship between literature and life, reading and thinking. It explores the prominence of Victorian literature for contemporary readers and academics, through the author’s unique insight into why it is still important today. It provides new frames of interpretation for key Victorian works of literature and close readings of important texts. It argues for a new engagement with Victorian literature, from general readers and scholars alike. It seeks to remove Victorian literature from an entrenched set of values, traditions and perspectives - demonstrating how vital and resonant it is for modern literary and cultural analysis.
