This dissertation explores how the British post office and the British naturalist novel handle the circulation of personal objects—letters and characters—in impersonal ways, with the postal system functioning as a useful analogy for understanding the narrative habits of British naturalism. cache/8k71ng4839p.txt txt/8k71ng4839p.txt
