In this groundbreaking collection of essays, \u003ci\u003eNarrative Middles: Navigating the Nineteenth-Century British Novel\u003c\/i\u003e, nine literary scholars offer innovative approaches to the study of the underrepresented middle of the vast, bulky nineteenth-century multiplot novel. Combining rigorous formal analysis with established sociohistorical methods, these essays seek to account for the various ways in which the novel gave shape to British culture's powerful obsession with middles. The capacious middle of the nineteenth-century novel provides ample room for intricately woven plots and the development of complex character systems, but it also becomes a medium for capturing, consecrating, and cultivating the middle class and its middling, middlebrow tastes as well as its mediating global role in empire. \u003ci\u003eNarrative Middles\u003c\/i\u003e explores these fascinating conjunctions in new readings of novels by Jane Austen, William Makepeace Thackeray, Anne Bront , George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Henry James, and William Morris.
