""Portable Property" squarely engages the question of why Victorians loved their objects, and how this love constituted an important component of the imperial apparatus and the internal dynamics of their culture. By uncovering the role objects played in supporting the rule of a few over many, John Plotz makes an important contribution."--Mary Poovey, New York University
""Portable Property" gives new insights into how the Victorians' sense of themselves in the world and at home was shaped by their imperial role and their new mobility. Moreover, John Plotz's abundant critical talent is evident throughout: there are truly stellar readings of well-known texts such as "The Eustace Diamonds" and "Daniel Deronda," and highly original and astute discussions of whole oeuvres, such as Hardy's and Morris's."--Catherine Gallagher, University of California, Berkeley
