Focusing on major works by Austen, Gaskell, Dickens, Eliot, Hardy, and Forster, Valerie Wainwright draws upon new research to trace the ways in which the ethical interests and ideas of philosophers and intellectuals, both famous and obscure, were taken up and reappraised as authors tackled the implications of an expansive ethics of well-being and self-fulfillment.
