Darwin and the Novelists - Patterns of Science in Victorian Fiction (Paperback, New edition)

Levine shows how Darwin's ideas affected nineteenth-century novelists--from Dickens and Trollope to Conrad. "Levine stands in our day as the premier critic and commentator on Victorian prose."--Frank M. Turner, "Nineteenth-Century Literature." "Magnificently written, with a care and delicacy worthy of its subject."--Nina Auerbach, University of Pennsylvania
