Suzy Anger is Associate Professor of English at the University of British Columbia. She is the author of Victorian Interpretation, also from Cornell.

Anger's introduction sets out to recuperate values of objectivity and historical knowledge on ethical and political grounds.... One testimony to the general interest of Anger's project is the very high caliber of scholars appearing in this collection.... In sum, the volume offers a fairly hopeful perspective—or at least counters a casually cynical perspective—on our prospects for knowing other times and places. It does so, however, only in part by telling us things we didn't know. Its signature move is to urge renewed and candid reflections on how we know.- David Wayne Thomas, University of Michigan (Journal of Modern Literature) Suzy Anger's timely and fascinating collection, Knowing the Past, brings together essays by a pantheon of Victorian scholars.... A compelling collection of top-notch essays.- Christine DeVine (Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies) Taken as a whole, the essays not only make us reflect on the challenges of our practices as Victorianists, but they also compel us to interrogate our own stances, our own methodological assumptions, about attempting to encounter and understand artifacts from the past.- Kate Flint, Rutgers University (Nineteenth Century Literature)
