Abstract
Abstract:
This article explains how Toni Morrison's Beloved (1987) has become an important intertext for Charles Dickens's Great Expectations (1860–61) in the author's high school teaching. It suggests that the reading practices of nonexperts, along with unconventional text pairings, may help Victorianists fruitfully rethink disciplinary boundaries and field borders.
