- This book provides a methodologically and theoretically innovative history of the novel in the long nineteenth century, which is grounded, unusually, in local metropolitan geography. It shows how the development of British fiction between the 1820s and early-1900s, and the material and symbolic transformation undergone by the London neighbourhood known as Bloomsbury over this period, were symbiotic processes. The result of nine years of research, initially for the Leverhulme-funded Bloomsbury Project (UCL), it explores its corpus of over sixty works of fiction, bringing many virtually unknown texts into conversation with canonical works such as Vanity Fair and The Golden Bowl.
