Immensely popular in their time, his works were admired by many contemporary writers including Conan Doyle, Stevenson, Meredith and Swinburne. His most famous novel <i>The Wreck of the Grosvenor</i> has rarely been out of print since its first publication in 1877. Based on extensive archival research, Nash explores this remarkable career, from Russell's early unsuccessful attempts to write 'female' sensation novels until he found his true <i>métier</i>. Illuminating such themes as gender ideology, the emergence of genre fiction and the influence of the marketplace on authorship, Nash places Russell's work at the centre of current debates on late Victorian literature and book history.Literary texts and the popular marketplace ;no. 6.William Clark Russell & the Victorian Nautical NovelSea stories, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature and societyGreat BritainHistory19th centurySea stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.English fictionHistory and criticism.Literature and societyHistory823.8Nash Andrew1972-1179058UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786930703321William Clark Russell and the Victorian nautical novel3778762UNINA
