Description

Explore a fresh perspective on Victorian confinement with The Self in the Cell: Narrating the Victorian Prisoner. While Michel Foucault's theories on the Panopticon have long shaped how scholars view surveillance and detection in literature, this work offers a necessary alternative. Sean Grass moves beyond Foucauldian ideas to examine the actual cultural history of the Victorian prison. This book connects real-world Victorian confinement to the novels of the era. Instead of relying solely on metaphorical forms of policing and public scrutiny, Grass traces the tangible relations between historical prison structures and literary representations. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in literary criticism, cultural theory, and the history of the prison system. By analyzing how the Victorian prisoner is narrated, this text provides a deeper understanding of how physical confinement shaped the literature of the period.
