The three realist writers who are the focus of this study-Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy-each trace a series of figurations of the common in the wake of the physical or literal commons' destruction, endowing both the historical trauma that was enclosure and the utopian spirit that the commons embodied with an afterlife, one that reveals a radical politics at the heart of these most canonical writers' works"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRealism in literature 610 $acharacter. 610 $acosmopolitanism. 610 $aenclosure. 610 $aenvironmental humanities. 610 $ageopolitical aesthetic. 610 $apolitical ecology. 610 $arealism. 610 $aslow violence. 610 $athe commons. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRealism in literature. 676 $a823.809 700 $aLesjak$b Carolyn J.$01599898 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809543703321 996 $aThe afterlife of enclosure$93922773 997 $aUNINA
