Victorian Afterlives: The Shaping of Influence in Nineteenth-Century Literature
Douglas-Fairhurst, Robert (, Magdalen College, Oxford)
This study examines a Victorian obsession with 'influence', the often unpredictable after-effects of words and actions, in fields as diverse as mesmerism and theology, literary theory and sanitation reform. For writers such as Tennyson, FitzGerald and Dickens, the idea is both a theoretical and a practical problem.
