What is Biopolitics in the Victorian Novel about?
This document provides an introduction to a thesis that examines how concepts of biopolitics and population relate to Victorian novels. It summarizes criticism of Foucault-inspired studies that see literature as reinforcing disciplinary power structures. The introduction argues that while early Foucault-inspired criticism was influential, more recent work seeks to move "beyond the Panopticon" by exploring less monolithic views of social order and agency within power relations.
