“Fictions of Migration is a much- needed meditation on the meanings and manifestations of migration within Andean narrative practices, specifically film and novel. It is a more than auspicious moment to be considering migration and what it means, and this study does this admirably.” —Jorge Coronado, author of Portraits in the Andes: Photography and Agency, 1900–1950

“This engaging study of Victorian multi-plot novels makes a compelling argument that, despite the seemingly distinct and potentially disjunctive narrative voices that tell a story, those perspectives cohere in a single worldview, one that points to the middle class’s acquisition of cultural and political power and the period’s gradual movement toward a more democratic state. Valint’s book will be welcomed not only by scholars of Victorian literature but also by those interested more broadly in narrative theory.” —Elizabeth Langland, author of Telling Tales: Gender and Narrative Form in Victorian Literature and Culture
