Clough, argues Schad, never gets in the way of the world, or worlds, of which he writes. And these worlds are many: ranging from the orthodox world of the Anglican Oxford that Clough famously abandons, through the turbulent worlds of Paris and Rome that Clough visits in the wake of the revolutionary events of 1848, to the quietly desperate world of Clough's final years. For Schad, though, Clough's defining world is the very strange world of continental thought, a world which makes him a most un-Victorian Victorian.

Reveals the dark underside of Charles Dickens's work in the light of contemporary literary and cultural theory. Exploring transgressions and perversities in his work, this collection of essays focuses on the marginal figures (the Jew, the corpse), improbable concerns (idleness, insomnia), unlikely spaces (the crypt, the shop window) and radical voices (republican, homoerotic) in his novels. The authors of these essays consider Dickens to be the most central and also the most "ex-centric" Victorian figure, and suggest that his work provides a rich field of study for feminist, poststructuralist and psychoanalytic readings.
