In this far-reaching and provocative study, Nathan K. Hensley shows how the modern state's anguished relationship to violence pushed literary writers of the Victorian era to expand the capacities of literary form. He explores the works of some of the era's most astute thinkers, including George Eliot, Charles Dickens, and Robert Louis Stevenson.
