Sommario/riassunto

This text explores links between postmodernism and the 19th century heritage it so often repudiates. Jay Clayton traces circuits that connect Austen, Babbage, Darwin, Dickens and Mary Shelley with their contemporary counterparts: Salman Rushdie, Ridley Scott, Tom Stoppard and others.
