A specialist in British literature and film of the 19th and 20th centuries, Murray (English, Curry College) deploys the three popular novels to demonstrate how the growth of capitalism production and the development of new industrial technologies within the early to mid-Victorian periods encouraged privileging the printed word over oratory and speech. The difference in power between authors and readers of mass produced books was much greater than any possible difference between two speakers, he points out, so print culture was intrinsically less egalitarian than oral culture. He looks at the carnivalesque in Hard Times; crowds, mobs, and spatial separations in Shirley; and the absence of place-identity in Felix Holt.
