Includes bibliographical references and index.

Cool Heads and Warm Hearts -- Brains More Precious Than Blood, or the Professional Logic of the Young England Trilogy -- Vero orè Falso? The Pastor as Mentor in Romola -- Manly Independence: Autonomy in The Warden and Barchester Towers -- One function in particular: Specialization and the Service Ethic in Janet's Repentance and Daniel Deronda -- Professional Frontiers in Elizabeth Gaskell's My Lady Ludlow -- A kind of manager not hitherto existing: Octavia Hill and the Professional Philanthropist.

This book makes the claim that Victorian novels do not simply reflect professional ideology; they also scrutinize its dilemmas, contradictions, and limitations. In this volume, innovative readings of canonical texts like Sybil, Barchester Towers, Romola, and Daniel Deronda accompany groundbreaking work on less familiar texts like Tancred and My Lady Ludlow to illuminate the Victorians' own struggles with the emerging professional ideology. The Victorians' engagement with fundamental ideasof professional identity such as autonomy, meritocracy, and the serviceethic reveal professionalism's dual basis in materialist and idealist rationalities.
