Description

This important new book, including contributions from some of the most distinguished experts in the field, demonstrates that the relation between literature, culture and biology in the nineteenth century is far more complex than habitual references to Darwin would have us believe.

Author Biography

Anne-Julia Zwierlein is Assistant Professor at the Centre for British Studies, University of Bamberg. She has published a monograph, 'Majestick Milton: British Imperial Expansion and Transformations of Paradise Lost, 1667-1837' (Munster, 2001) and co-edited 'Plotting Early Modern London: New Essays on Jacobean City Comedy' (Aldershot, 2004).

Reviews

'Each of the essays has a sparkle and charm of its own... [they] take us into relatively unexplored regions and offer fresh insights into their own particular subject area.' -'Victorian Studies' 'Recommended for in-depth reading, which will surely offer illuminating insights beyond the range of specialised professional interests.' -'Anglistik: International Journal of English Studies'
