Reviews for When Things Go Wrong (Beginner Reader Series)

...Larson's book is a challenging reevaluation of ethical criticism and Victorian novels. Religious Studies Review Larson's book proves to be a solid study of ethics and narrative...The Afterword is valuable for its succinct recapitulation of the study's premises and conclusions. The volume concludes with twenty-two pages of notes, a solid bibliography, and a short index. English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920 Jil Larson offers an intriguing new volume...Larson's ethical readings succeed admirably in terms of ethical criticism's interpretive potential for both camps. George Eliot-George Henry Lewes Studies This is a valuable moment in a study by a critic with a rare combination of knowledge of recent moral philosophy, ethical criticism, and criticism of late-nineteenth-century British novelists. Victorian Studies
