S. Eliot, James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, and Ezra Pound. But he has also had a long-standing interest in the notions of literary lateness vs. modernity, in fin de siecle decadence, and in the art of reading modernism backward—from the 1920s to the 1890s.

Chapter 4 concerns archaeology, using parallels that Victorians perceived between the ruins of ancient London and those of Pompeii, which were excavated and interpreted along similar geology-influenced lines. Employing the archaeological model, chapter 5 examines two novels by Charles Dickens, Little Dorrit and Our Mutual Friend, whose characters "must stare down geologic and cultural pasts" and "assert themselves into the present urban landscape" while joining "fragments into whole narratives" (143). Chapter 6, a brief conclusion, is entitled "Final Fragments," perhaps acknowledging the imperfection that necessarily arises from trying to gather together so many and varied types of evidence into one volume. In all of the chapters the protean idea of trace comes and goes, operating in various ways in different contexts, but always focusing on the complicity of time and interpretation. An exercise in cultural studies and historical epistemology, Excavating Victorians perhaps is more successful in displaying, somewhat like the museum collections it discusses, evidence for the broad impact of geological thinking, including some interesting literary curiosities, than it is in opening up strikingly new critical readings of major texts. Occasionally Zimmerman's interpretations of individual passages, building upon the prevalence of geologylike phenomena in everyday environments and language-rocks, wearing away, metaphorical references to digging and uncovering, and so forth-seem like stretches. Overall, however, Excavating Victorians effectively works to alter readers' readings of the Victorian cultural landscape. I learned much from it and recommend it to anyone wishing to delve into this terrain.
