Wall was widely regarded for his writings on the Victorian novel, and this book contains all his major writings about Anthony Trollope and Charles Dickens, including the full text of his book-length study 'Trollope and Character' (1988) and a history of Dickens's reception. Alongside these texts are included Wall's reflections on Jane Austen and George Eliot and on other aspects of nineteenth-century fiction, as well as his influential essay on the ways in which English novels should be edited. Together, the essays communicate the mixture of learning, human sympathy, critical intelligence and dry wit that made Wall's voice so distinctive and trusted.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Seamus Perry is professor of English in the English Faculty at Oxford University, UK, and a fellow of the university's Balliol College.
