by Sarah Louise Macmillen (Author)

Building on aesthetic, sociological, and literary theories, the author focuses on a selection of novelists from the early 1800s to the early 1900s and their contribution to the sociological imagination. Throughout the text, the book considers these "stories that are telling" in light of social issues today.
