Book Description:
|
In the first full-length critical study of Charlotte Riddell (1832-1906), Silvana Colella examines Riddell's novels in relation to the changing dynamics of commercial and financial modernity. By combining historicist and formalist analyses, the book shows the relevance of Riddell's novels as narrative experiments that can enrich our understanding of Victorian business culture, the literary history of capitalism, and the intersections of gender, genre and economics.
