Alexandra Valint, Narrative Bonds : Multiple Narrators in the Victorian Novel<\/a><\/em>, Ohio Press University, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis engaging study of Victorian multi-plot novels makes a compelling argument that, despite the seemingly distinct and potentially disjunctive narrative voices that tell a story, those perspectives cohere in a single worldview, one that points to the middle class\u2019s acquisition of cultural and political power and the period\u2019s gradual movement toward a more democratic state. Valint\u2019s book will be welcomed not only by scholars of Victorian literature but also by those interested more broadly in narrative theory.\u201d \u2014Elizabeth Langland, author of Telling Tales: Gender and Narrative Form in Victorian Literature and Culture<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While narrative fracturing, multiplicity, and experimentalism are commonly associated with modernist and postmodern texts, they have largely been understudied in Victorian literature.\u00a0Narrative Bonds: Multiple Narrators in the Victorian Novel\u00a0<\/em>focuses on the centrality of these elements and addresses the proliferation of multiple narrators in Victorian novels. In\u00a0Narrative Bonds<\/em>, Alexandra Valint explores the ways in which the Victorian multinarrator form moves toward the unity of vision across characters and provides inclusivity in an era of expanding democratic rights and a growing middle class. Integrating narrative theory, gothic theory, and disability studies with analyses of works by Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, Wilkie Collins, Emily Bront\u00eb, and Bram Stoker, this comprehensive and illuminating study illustrates the significance and impact of the multinarrator structure in Victorian novels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandra Valint is Associate Professor in the English Program at the University of Southern Mississippi at the University of Southern Mississippi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
