Editorial Reviews
Review
‘Victorian Unfinished Novels is an important project so much so one wonders why nobody has written a book like this before. Tomaiuolo reveals how unresolved patterns and tensions in the unfinished novel offer a powerful source of analysis in literary criticism. An author’s logistical inability to tidy away his or her work materials results in a complex exposition of the ways in which context, production and ideology shape the literary.’ – Andrew Mangham, Lecturer in English, University of Reading, UK
