adam_text | Why Victorian Literature Still Matters is a powerful defense of the enduring
impact of Victorian realism today. With a nod to the popularity of phrenology
within that era, noted literary thinker Philip Davis points to a corner of the human
mind where mid-Victorian literature resides. This Victorian bump, he argues,
is an area concerned with human purpose, morality, secularization and belief,
human stories, and living in time.
Rather than emphasizing Victorian literature as an historical and reassuring body
of knowledge, Davis explains its centrality for contemporary readers as an
important mode of thinking and feeling, and provides a gateway of analysis into
the popular prose and poetry of the Victorian Age. Why Victorian Literature Still
Matters is a personal manifesto, inviting readers to discover what it is that really
moves them in a book. The author offers readers the encouragement to find out
what Victorian literature means for them and how it relates to our wider human
existence.

Why Victorian Literature Still Matters is a powerful defense of the enduring
impact of Victorian realism today. With a nod to the popularity of phrenology
within that era, noted literary thinker Philip Davis points to a corner of the human
mind where mid-Victorian literature resides. This "Victorian bump," he argues,
is an area concerned with human purpose, morality, secularization and belief,
human stories, and living in time.
Rather than emphasizing Victorian literature as an historical and reassuring body
of knowledge, Davis explains its centrality for contemporary readers as an
important mode of thinking and feeling, and provides a gateway of analysis into
the popular prose and poetry of' the Victorian Age. Why Victorian Literature Still
Matters is a personal manifesto, inviting readers to discover what it is that really
moves them in a book. The author offers readers the encouragement to find out
what Victorian literature means for them and how it relates to our wider human
existence.
