  • Description: 'Novel Politics' aims to change the current consensus of thinking about the nineteenth-century novel, which assumes that its default position is conservative and hegemonic. Isobel Armstrong creates a poetics of the novel that opens up its radical aspects, and treats the novel as a lived interrogation, experimental, and a source of social questioning.
