The social novel in 19th-century Britain has been considered the effort of a mostly male canon of writers. In this study, first published in 1985, Kestner challenges that assumption, arguing that it was female writers who initiated and advanced the tradition of using narrative fiction to register protest, expose abuses, and promote reform.
