Book excerpt: Childers (English, U. of California-Riverside) considers the role of the novel, particularly the social-problem novel of the 1840s, in interpreting and shaping the cultures of the early Victorian period. The volume's nine essays address the political novel's influence; Edwin Chadwick's Report on the Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population of Great Britain; and religion, radical politics, and the industrial novel.
