With Joyce, Proust, and Faulkner in mind, we have come to understand the novel as a form with intimate ties to the impulses and processes of memory. This study contends that this common perception is an anachronism that distorts our view of the novel. The Victorian novel bears no such secure relation to memory, and, in fact, it tries to hide, evade, and eliminate remembering.
