I'm very interested in how the Revolution was conceived in the Victorian imagination--most significantly, via fiction--especially with regard to representations that diverged from the stereotypical, Burke-esque, "the French Revolution=wanton carnage" view. I'm very familiar with A Tale of Two Cities and The Scarlet Pimpernel, but I was curious to see if you guys had any other reading suggestions. Minor authors/works, questionable literary merit, not a problem. I would prefer works in which the Revolution is the subject and not just a passing allusion. Even better if the work incorporates the 19th c. French revolutions, in addition to the (best) 1789 Revolution. Merci!

PS--for the sake of my research, I'm looking for British representations, not French
