This book will interest specialists in the Victorian period from various fields and will also be a welcome addition to any library serving substantial humanities divisions. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the essays, this collection would be useful in a wide range of humanities classes beyond the traditional literature class. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMiddle Ages in literature 606 $aMedievalism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xAppreciation$zGreat Britain 606 $aMedievalism in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMiddle Ages in literature. 615 0$aMedievalism$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xAppreciation 615 0$aMedievalism in literature. 676 $a820.9358 701 $aPalmgren$b Jennifer A$01508485 701 $aHolloway$b Lorretta M$01508486 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784125303321 996 $aBeyond Arthurian romances$93739876 997 $aUNINA
