Janice Carlisle has published books on Victorian fiction and John Stuart Mill and, most recently, Common Scents: Comparative Encounters in High-Victorian Fiction, as well as editions of Dickens's Great Expectations and a collection of essays on narrative. Picturing Reform in Victorian Britain is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press. A study of art and politics from the 1830s to the 1860s, it treats the wood engravings of illustrated journalism in their relation to extensions of the franchise.  She particularly enjoys teaching interdisciplinary approaches to Victorian fiction in general and Dickens in particular.
