Theology and the Victorian Novel

J. Russell Perkin is professor of English, Saint Mary's University, and the author of A Reception-History of George Eliot's Fiction.

"Perkin's central thesis, which pushes back against the unexamined secularism of so much modern criticism of Victorian literature, is highly original and very convincing." Stephen Prickett, Regius Professor Emeritus, University of Glasgow and Honorary Professor, University of Kent at Canterbury "Theology and the Victorian Novel is exceptionally well-written: fluent, thoughtful, lucid, modest, and highly readable." Catherine Harland, Queen's University, Ontario
