Description

Hunger Movements in Early Victorian Literature by Lesa Scholl offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary examination of how starvation and want shaped British society and culture from the early 1830s to the late 1860s. Scholl integrates literary analysis, sensory history, and political economy to trace the evolving concept of hunger across the Victorian era. The study draws on significant works by Charles Dickens, Harriet Martineau, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry Mayhew, and Charlotte Bronte to demonstrate hunger's central role in social development. This Routledge publication reveals how the language of starvation intertwines with narratives of emotional and intellectual want, creating a dynamic exploration of one of the period's most pressing social issues. Essential reading for scholars of Victorian literature, social history, and cultural studies seeking to understand how hunger shaped both literary imagination and historical consciousness during this transformative period.
