Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

"The best man of all" : mythologies of the storyteller -- When good speech acts go bad : the voice of industrial fiction -- Speech on paper : Charles Dickens, Victorian phonography, and the reform of writing -- "Done to death" : Dickens and the author's voice -- Unuttered : withheld speech in Jane Eyre and Villette -- "Hell's masterpiece of print" : voice, face, and print in The ring and the book -- A voice without a body : the phonographic logic of Heart of darkness.

The nineteenth-century novel has always been regarded as a literary form pre-eminently occupied with the written word, but Ivan Kreilkamp shows it was deeply marked by and engaged with vocal performances and the preservation and representation of speech. He offers a detailed account of the many ways Victorian literature and culture represented the human voice, from political speeches, governesses' tales, shorthand manuals, and staged authorial performances in the early- and mid-century, to mechanically reproducible voice at the end of the century. Through readings of Charlotte Brontë, Browning, Carlyle, Conrad, Dickens, Disraeli and Gaskell, Kreilkamp re-evaluates critical assumptions about the cultural meanings of storytelling, and shows that the figure of the oral storyteller, rather than disappearing among readers' preference for printed texts, persisted as a character and a function within the novel. This 2005 study will change the way readers consider the Victorian novel and its many ways of telling stories.
