Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture: Dickens, Balzac and the Language of the Walls

Thornton, S.

Sara Thornton presents a crucial moment in print culture, the early recognition of what we now call a 'virtual' world, and proposes new readings of key texts by Dickens and Balzac.
