| adam_text | How did the Victorians read novels? Nicholas Dames answers that deceptively
simple question by revealing a now-forgotten range of nineteenth-century
theories of the novel, a range based in a study of human physiology during the
act of reading. He demonstrates the ways in which the Victorians thought they
read, and uncovers surprising responses to the question of what might have tran¬
spired in the minds and bodies of readers of Victorian fiction. His detailed studies
of novel critics who were also interested in neurological science, combined with
readings of novels by Thackeray, Eliot, Meredith, and
Gissing,
propose a vision
of the Victorian novel-reader as far from the quietly immersed being we now
imagine
—
as instead a reader whose nervous system was addressed, attacked,
and soothed by authors newly aware of the neural operations of their
public. Rich in unexpected intersections, from the British response to
Wagnerian
opera to the birth of speed-reading in the late nineteenth
century, The Physiology of the Novel challenges our assumptions
about what novel-reading once did, and still does, to the individual
reader, and provides new answers to the question of how novels
influenced a culture s way of reading, responding, and feeling.
Nicholas Dames is Theodore
Kahan
Professor in the
Humanities at Columbia University.
