White Glove In-Home Delivery available for this itemLearn more UPSO (University Press Scholarship Online) While the Victorian novel famously describes, catalogs, and inundates the reader with things, the protocols for reading it have long enjoined readers not to interpret most of what crowds its pages. The Ideas in Things explores apparently inconsequential objects in popular Victorian texts to make contact with their fugitive meanings.

Developing an innovative approach to analyzing nineteenth-century fiction, Elaine Freedgood here reconnects the things readers unwittingly ignore to the stories they tell. Building her case around objects from three well-known Victorian novels—the mahogany furniture in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, the calico curtains in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Mary Barton, and “Negro head” tobacco in Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations—Freedgood argues that these things are connected to histories that the novels barely acknowledge, generating darker meanings outside the novels’ symbolic systems. A valuable contribution to the new field of object studies in the humanities, The Ideas in Things pushes readers’ thinking about things beyond established concepts of commodity and fetish. Jane EyreMary Barton Great ExpectationsMiddlemarch Mary Poovey, author of A History of the Modern Fact “Sly, charming, and devilishly clever, The Ideas in Things whisks its reader beyond the covers of four Victorian novels in pursuit of the associations more traditional readings overlook. 

Freedgood offers a new approach to realism in these pages—one that dares to risk being called literal-minded—as it tracks down the secret histories of things.” Gauri Viswanathan, author of Outside the Fold: Conversion, Modernity, and Belief >Gay Pride Lion T-Shirt “Elaine Freedgood makes a major critical intervention by proposing a powerful method of reading for occluded histories in novels. Tiger Cubs For Sale In FloridaThe scam of fiction is that the uncomfortable pasts of slavery, genocide, and imperialism (to name a few) are ever present before our eyes, in the objects that proliferate in novels, but we have become habituated to give them little or no attention. Low Voltage Lighting Transformer ReviewIn brilliantly reading ‘things’ for the histories they simultaneously reveal and foreclose, Freedgood has made it impossible to think about the Victorian novel apart from the cultural memory it both gestures towards and suppresses.”

Bill Brown, author of A Sense of Things: The Object Matter of American Literature thingsThe Ideas in Things Nancy Armstrong, author of How Novels Think: The Limits of Individualism from 1719-1900 “The Ideas in Things argues for a culture of objects—not yet commodities, much less fetishes, but genuinely fascinating and unpredictably mobile things with complex histories unacknowledged by the way we now read Victorian novels. Freedgood’s fresh and utterly original way of reading fiction by Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Charles Dickens cracks open the archive of what she calls ‘thing culture’ and rescues the stuff of realism from the abstract and static condition of metaphors. Such seemingly benign objects as the furniture of Thornfield, the Bartons’ calico curtains, and Magwitch’s Australian tobacco consequently start telling us what they know about colonial deforestation, the slave trade, the famine in southern India, the genocide of aboriginal peoples, and many otherwise lost possibilities for meaning that would certainly have registered on Victorian readers.

This book should inspire a generation of revisionary readings.”Journal of British Studies “Freedgood [demands] that we attend to the array of things that populate Victorian fiction but also [demonstrates] how we might in practice do so. For this reason, the book stands as an exemplary piece of twenty first-century Victorianist scholarship.” Tischler und Sohn (U.S.A.)
