With focus on representations of bodies on the move, it reveals how journeys create the place of the nation within a changing global landscape.
“Mobility in the Victorian Novel is an impressive contribution that breaks new ground. Those interested in mid-century tourism and travel, national identity and mobility will find it especially rewarding. I also highly recommend it for its thoughtfulness and rigor in textual interpretation, virtues that will surely make it valuable in teaching.” (John Edmondson, Dickens Quarterly, Vol. 34 (1), March, 2017)
“Mathieson goes on to examine Victorian fiction’s portrayal of England’s relations with the outer world–through European identity and through empire. … Mathieson’s book … is informative and helpful. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; researchers/faculty.” (N. Birns, Choice, Vol. 53 (8), April, 2016)
