Download or read book Invisible Writing and the Victorian Novel written by Patricia Ingham and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows uniquely how the most powerful aspects of language in literary texts are those that the reader does not see. It makes these hidden features visible by a close read of six well-known Victorian novels including Bleak House and Tess of the D'Urbervilles. The readings of the novels provide tools to illustrate how texts encode assumptions and social meaning. This has until now only been done for short pieces of writing.
