This book argues that the capacious and cluttered Victorian novel was formally shaped by the nineteenth century information explosion and by the pressure to store unprecedented amounts of data. The study is grounded in readings of novels by Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Rudyard Kipling.
