The Textual Condition of Nineteenth-Century Literature
Biography
Josephine Guy is Professor of Modern Literature, University of Nottingham. Ian Small is Professor of English Literature, University of Birmingham.
"In their examination of the relationship between the literary value assigned to a work and its ‘textual condition,’ Josephine Guy and Ian Small write against the grain in a turn away from concern for ‘literariness’ and what a work is to an interrogation of the processes and conditions through which it was realized…the authors…give us some understanding of the complex and yet fascinating indeterminacy of texts in the Victorian period." --Kerry Powell, Miami University, English Literature in Transition, 1880–1920
