	Novel: A Forum on Fiction: Wired Victorians
		Reclaiming the Victorians for a postmodern moment defined by technological innovation, Dickens in Cyberspace brings to light nineteenth-century Britain's fascination with engineering novelties and scientific discovery and examines how this often-forgotten Victorian legacy resonates with contemporary literature and culture.
