On Style in Victorian Fiction: Edited by Daniel Tyler, Cambridge University Press

Such a wonderful experience to have been involved with creating this quill image for the cover

Commission for a new book by Daniel Tyler, On Style in Victorian Writing, Cambridge University Press 2021. Original art work: Sumi ink on silk board.

This collection provides a major assessment of style in Victorian fiction and demonstrates that style - the language, techniques and artistry of prose - is inseparable from meaning and that it is through the many resources of style that the full compass of meaning makes itself known.
