Insisting on gradual and regular-lawful-change, Darwinian thought nevertheless requires acknowledgment of chance and randomness for a full explanation of biological phenomena. Levine shows how these conceptions affected 19th-century novelists-from Dickens and Trollope to Conrad-and draws contrasts with the pre-Darwinian novel.
