Situating these representations within the context of Victorian visual culture, and offering new readings of key works by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Ellen Wood, George Eliot, Oscar Wilde, and Arthur Conan Doyle, Jaffe shows how mid-Victorian spectacles of social difference construct the middle-class self, and how late-Victorian narratives of feeling pave the way for the sympathetic affinities of contemporary identity politics. Perceptive and elegantly written, Scenes of Sympathy is the first detailed examination of the place of sympathy in Victorian fiction and ideology. It will redirect the current critical conversation about sympathy and refocus discussions of late-Victorian fictions of identity. 606 $aMimesis in literature 606 $aSympathy in literature 606 $aGroup identity in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aCapitalism and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMimesis in literature. 615 0$aSympathy in literature. 615 0$aGroup identity in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aCapitalism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a823/.809 700 $aJaffe$b Audrey$01025022 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910272350503321 996 $aScenes of Sympathy$92436727 997 $aUNINA
