Hardback. In the 1990s, it was the French theorists such as Derrida, Lacan and Foucault who, with their stress on linguistic play and undecidability, took Victorian Studies by storm. Here, the author shows that what the Germans bring to our understanding of the nineteenth century is a terrible awareness of the darkest moments of the twentieth century.
