4.0 out of 5 stars A Compelling Book About Victorian England, May 21, 2000
By 
This review is from: Preaching Pity (Studies in Nineteenth-Century British Literature) (Hardcover)
The book Preaching Pity : Dickens, Gaskell, and Sentimentalism in Victorian Culture (Studies in Nineteenth-Century British Literature, Vol. 11), by Mary Lenard provided an insightful analyzation of the birth of public feeling in the Victorian Era. She uses the works of Dickens and Gaskell to prove her points, which she does quite well. Her book demostrated a deep knowledge of England during that time period. It gave the reader a feelinig of involement in the book and the historical happenings noted. Although the subject matter is a bit dry, she managed to make it interesting. This book is a must have for researchers and historical buffs alike!
