Text and Image in Dickens
In this article I look at the collaboration between Dickens and his greatest illustrator, Hablot K. Browne (Phiz), in Dombey and Son, David Copperfield , and especially Bleak House . In these works, text and image cluster around themes of fallen sexuality, feminine transgression, and the problematic identity of woman as both protagonist and narrator or author. I argue that Browne’s illustrations offer not a counternarrative to Dickens’s but a sub…

George Eliot and John Everett Millais
In an effort to recover the extensive cross-fertilization between literary and visual representation in the Victorian period, I discuss the possible influence of John Everett Millais’s Christ in the House of His Parents (1849–50) on George Eliot’s Adam Bede (1859). Bringing to bear on this connection the discourses of art criticism, evolutionary science, the higher criticism, and aesthetic theory, I see the significance of this influence in terms…

Dickens's “Jewish Question”
The story – we might almost say legend – of how Dickens came to make the character of Riah in Our Mutual Friend a benign figure and a deliberate revision of Fagin, underworld denizen of Oliver Twist , is well known. In 1860, an Anglo-Jewish couple, J. P. and Eliza Davis, bought Charles Dickens's London home, Tavistock House. Dickens remarked to his personal secretary, William Wills, that he could not recall any “money-making dealings . . . that h…

Walking the Victorian Streets
Literary traditions of urban description in the nineteenth century revolve around the figure of the stroller, a man who navigates and observes the city streets with impunity. Whether the stroller appears as fictional character, literary persona, or the nameless, omnipresent narrator of panoramic fiction, he casts the woman of the streets in a distinctive role. She functions at times as a double for the walker's marginal and alienated self and at …
