† PHILIP COLLINS examines the changing Victorian attitude to the shedding of the manly tear, both in life and over literature.
He concentrates particularly on the critical response to the novels of Dickens, and hints that our modern suspicion of the moist eye and the trembling lip may obstruct a full appreciation of Victorian sentiment and social concern.
