Scholars of literature continue to multiply methods for researching the sources of and inspirations for the Victorian novel. But how did Victorian novelists themselves do research? Following Roland Barthes’s methodological reorientation from the position of the critic to that of the novelist in “The Preparation of the Novel,” this talk asks how understanding novelists’ note-taking systems and self-archiving practices can help us rethink our ways of knowing the Victorian novel.
