His novel The Woman in White became hugely successful and popularised a style of writing that came to be known as sensation fiction. This Companion highlights the energy, the impact and the inventiveness of the novels that were written in 'sensational' style, including the work of Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Mrs Henry Wood and Florence Marryat. It contains fifteen specially-commissioned essays and includes a chronology and a guide to further reading. Accessible yet rigorous, this Companion questions what influenced the shape and texture of the sensation novel, and what its repercussions were both in the nineteenth century and up to the present day.Cambridge companions to literature.English fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature and societyGreat BritainHistory19th centurySensationalism in literatureEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Literature and societyHistorySensationalism in literature.823/.809353Mangham Andrew1979-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996210809503316The Cambridge companion to sensation fiction2493563UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
