Victorians and the Machine: The Literary Response to Technology
Herbert L. Sussman
Herbert Sussman, in discussing the responses of the first writers who had to confront the fact of a mechanized world, shows that the literary subjects and emotional attitudes they established have to a large degree determined the nature of the modern response to the machine. Concentrating on seven representative writers—Carlyle, Dickens, Ruskin, Morris, Butler, Wells, and Kipling—the author challenges the oversimplified notion that their literature was essentially escapist and suggests that these writers sought new sources of emotional strength and beauty in the mechanized world.
