 | Victorian Fiction and the Insights of Sympathy: An Alternative to the Hermeneutics of Suspicion This book explores the importance of sympathy as a central idea behind Victorian fiction, and an animating principle of novel reading generally. Sympathy, Brigid Lowe argues, deserves a much more important role as both a subject and a guiding principle for literary criticism. Brigid Lowe is a Research Fellow at Trinity College, the University of Cambridge. |
