Writing Death in Victorian Novels: Absence, Separation, and Displacement

By Jolene Zigarovich

Book Overview

This book asks why Bront?, Dickens, and Collins saw the narrative act as a series of textual murders and resurrections? Drawing on theorists such as Derrida, Blanchot, and de Man, Zigarovich maintains that narrating death was important to the understanding of absence, separation, and displacement in an industrial and destabilized culture.
