Getting Lost in the Novel: The Impassioned Movements of Characters in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century British Fiction (currently under review by Oxford UP) argues that subgenres of the British novel -- the gothic, the marriage plot, the Victorian Bildungsroman, and the sensation novel -- define themselves as the emotional, physical, and mental motions of immersed readers. Subgenres theorize themselves in this way using episodes in which characters get socially or geographically lost, which highlight their relation to subgenre.
