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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSensationalism in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aSensationalism in literature. 676 $a823/.809353 702 $aMangham$b Andrew$f1979- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210809503316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to sensation fiction$92493563 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
