amything but narrow in scope or trivial in importance. In fact it's a wonderful book, beautifully written, ambitious, and filled throughout with large and small insights that should be of interest to all students not just of nineteenth century fiction, but of the more general relations between literature and the cultures within which it is produced...Expulsion and the Nineteenth-Century Novel offers pleasures and insights quite apart from its central thesis. Heyns is a graceful writer who belies the argument that theoretically sophisticated analysis must necessarily be jargon-ridden or obscure. He's also pretty funny, in a polite, cultured sort of way.
