  • VICTORIAN TYPES, VICTORIAN SHADOWS (ROUTLEDGE REVIVALS)
    GEORGE P. LANDOW
    The importance of typology in the study of early modern literature has long been accepted, yet students of Victorian culture have paid little attention to it. First published in 1980, this study demonstrates how biblical typology, an apparently arcane interpretative mode, had profound effects on the secular culture of the Victorian age: its art, literature and thought.
