📚 2 Books + 4 DVDs – Fictions of Consciousness, Novel History, Classic Novels

A sophisticated and unusually varied academic bundle combining two serious works of literary criticism and scholarship with a 4-disc DVD lecture series on great novels — an ideal lot for graduate students of literature, university English instructors, serious readers of literary theory, and collectors of academic literary criticism. The two books address distinct but complementary dimensions of literary study — Victorian consciousness and prose style on one hand, and the fertile intersection of American fiction and historical writing on the other — while the DVD series brings classic novel study to life in a visual lecture format. A rare and genuinely useful academic collection rarely found bundled together.

Books & DVDs Included in This Lot (as shown in photo):

• Fictions of Consciousness: Mill, Newman, and the Reading of Victorian Prose by Jonathan Loesberg - A rigorous and original work of Victorian literary criticism examining how Mill and Newman shaped and reflected the reading of consciousness in Victorian prose, situating their work within the broader intellectual and literary culture of the period. An important scholarly contribution to Victorian studies and the history of ideas, published by a leading academic press.

• Novel History: Historians and Novelists Confront America's Past (and Each Other) edited by Mark C. Carnes - A compelling and wide-ranging collection in which leading American historians and novelists — including Gore Vidal, Don DeLillo, John Updike, Larry McMurtry, Jane Smiley, William Styron, Charles Frazier, and many others — engage in direct dialogue about the relationship between historical truth and fictional imagination in American literature. An endlessly stimulating read for anyone interested in the boundary between history and fiction.

• Classic Novels: Meeting the Challenge of Great Literature (4-DVD Lecture Series, Parts 1-4) - A complete 4-disc DVD educational lecture series offering in-depth guided study of the great classic novels of world literature. Ideal for book clubs, homeschool programs, university courses, or individual readers seeking expert guidance through the canon of great fiction.
