Reviews

Reading Victorian novels alongside British object relations psychology, this gorgeously written book offers a distinctive rethinking of the self in Victorian literature. Christoff's compelling resistance to periodization facilitates searching and persuasive readings that transform how we approach canonical novels. -Elisha Cohn, Cornell University Novel Relations is a daring, deep, and beautiful work of literary criticism and theory. A timely book that needed to be written, it succeeds in doing what all great literary criticism aspires to do: make books that are familiar seem stranger than we realized. A great reader of Victorian novels and of psychoanalytic writers, Christoff illuminates both in writing about them together. Her book will make a splash. -Adela Pinch, University of Michigan


"""Winner of the Sonya Rudikoff Award, Northeast Victorian Studies Association"" ""Winner of the Courage to Dream Book Prize, American Psychoanalytic Association"" ""Christoff writes beautifully and passionately, and her interpretations are fascinating.""---Jane O'Grady, Times Higher Education ""A fascinating, deeply rewarding study, which helps us think afresh about how the Victorian novel alerts us to our most vital shared experiences.""---Fraser Riddell, Victoriographies"
