Like Dickens, Lanchester is a radical social critic and a fictional chronicler of London, but the very different situation of the novelist in the early twenty-first century means that Lanchester is not able to reproduce Dickens's confidence in the socially transformative power of fiction. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Modern Literature is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
