Although J. Hillis Miller writes compellingly about a wide range of topics in literary studies and critical theory, he remains one of our great critics of Victorian literature. Exploring this achievement in diverse ways, this Festschrift also includes new discussions by Miller of Hardy, Trollope and Dickens.

Jonathan Culler, Cornell University

The originality of this book is not only in its interdisciplinary and theoretically informed ideas and arguments, but also in the ways in which it combines theoretical and literary writing with creative, auto-ethnographic reflections and practice.
