Towards an Aesthetics of the Victorian Novel:
Senses and Sensations establishes a groundbreaking analytical approach within the broader realm of sensory studies, aimed at elucidating the profound impact that the Victorian novel genre can have on our perception of both ourselves and our social contexts. By pushing the boundaries of cultural literary studies, the book reintroduces aesthetics, a concept that has often been marginalized in cultural studies, favoring "popular" over "high culture." In its original sense, aesthetics refers to the art of perception, and this book seeks to reclaim its rightful place within cultural studies as a vital aesthetics.
By focusing on the period shifts and changes in taste that span realism, sensation fiction, and aestheticism, aesthetics reveals how these shifts also pertain to new ways of perceiving in selected novels by renowned authors such as George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, and Vernon Lee. By connecting Victorian and contemporary literary theories, aesthetics facilitates an exploration of the novel's capacity to shape our perception of the world, the boundaries of what can be perceived, and the profound influence that dominant genres of our time have on our conduct.
Through its meticulous analysis and insightful interpretations, Towards an Aesthetics of the Victorian Novel offers a valuable contribution to the field of literary studies, shedding light on the intricate relationship between the novel genre, sensory experiences, and our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
