Included in this collection are 105 of the period’s prose, poetry, drama, and nonfiction writers, including such canonical authors as Tennyson, Arnold, the Brownings, Carlyle, Ruskin, the Rossettis, Wilde, Eliot, and the Brontës. Fifty authors are women.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to selections from the major authors of the period, the volume promotes an ideologically and culturally varied view of Victorian society by including women, working-class, colonial, gay and lesbian writers, and dialect poets. These selections offer readers the opportunity to study new voices beyond the canon. There are 5 contextual sections covering the Condition of England; Gender, Women, and Sexuality; Literature and the Arts; Religion and Science; and Empire. These contexts are interdisciplinary in nature and examine the social, cultural, artistic, and historical factors at play during the period. They also contain unexpected sub-sections on topics of recent scholarship, such as environmentalism and animal rights; mass literacy and mass media; sex and sexuality; Victorian childhood; melodrama and comedy; the Irish question; ruling India and the Indian Mutiny; innovations in print culture; and the science of race.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe coverage is further expanded with  an extensive website for teachers and students that presents additional contextual readings (each with new sub-sections, such as Orientalism, ecclesiastical parties, literature and new technologies, law and the sexual subject), visual materials, audio recordings, maps, chronologies, and thematic indexes.  These are  fully  integrated with the text and include detailed annotations about names, places, events, allusions, and leading ideas. From the canon to its extensions to its contexts, this website is a fresh and exciting introduction to the diversity of the Victorian age.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e“A fully annotated anthology of Victorian literature is a massive undertaking, and the editors are to be commended for this near-heroic level of endeavor and the inclusiveness of their selections.”—\u003ci\u003eFlorence Boos, University of Iowa\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “In \u003ci\u003eVictorian Literature\u003c\/i\u003e Shea and Whitla have created a unique anthology that continues as an online resource, extending the contents in deep and subtle ways.
