Abstract
Anne DeLong, in The Victorian World: A Historical Exploration of Literature, provides students with an understanding of canonical works written during the Victorian era (1820 – 1914). In this series, DeLong explores the three canonical works of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, The Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, and various pieces of Victorian poetry. Those seeking to develop their collection on Victorian literature, researchers and students pursuing the elusive primary source material, or the general public will find DeLong’s contribution to the Historical Explorations of Literature series quite informative and a welcome addition to their library.
