Abstract
AbstractThis article makes the case for a critical consideration of the Victorians’ attitude towards France which goes beyond studies of literary influence and focuses on their response to French culture in a broader sense. Using Dickens’s writings on France as an example, it suggests that recent developments in cultural studies and research into the cross‐Channel exchange of ideas can enhance our understanding of the Victorians’ relationship with France and their concept of their own national culture.
