Through three case studies, it argues for ?human tissue? as a conceptual tool for reading that brings together biology, literature and questions of layering. This new approach is shown to be especially salient to the Victorian period, when the application of ?tissue? to biology first emerges. The book is distinctive in bringing together theoretical concerns around realism and the Anthropocene ? two major topics in literary criticism ? and presenting a new methodology to approach this conjunction, demonstrated through original readings of Charles Kingsley, George Eliot, and Emile Zola and two English-language writers he influenced (George Moore and Vernon Lee). 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine,$x2634-6443 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aMedicine and the humanities 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aMedical Humanities 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aMedicine and the humanities. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEcocriticism. 615 24$aMedical Humanities. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a823.8093561 676 $a823.8093561 700 $aMoore$b Ben$0791811 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910682569203321 996 $aHuman Tissue in the Realist Novel, 1850-1895$93083374 997 $aUNINA
