Описание: Charles Dickens explores the work of the most popular author of his age in relation to the contradictory impulses of Victorian society, looking at the vital interconnection between his life and his art. His novels resonate well beyond his own age and continue to be recontextualized on the stage, on film, and on television.

Описание: This work examines Hardy`s novels in the context of their author`s social, cultural, and political context and shows how they engaged directly with the issues of the day, showing how critical interpretations have changed over time, and how modern interpretations on film and television create new contexts in which to read the works afresh.

Описание: Wilkie Collins`s intriguing story about a blind girl has the exciting complications of his better-known novels but it also overturns expectations. Using a background of myth and fairy-tale to expand the boundaries of nineteenth-century realist fiction, Collins not only takes a blind person as his central character but also explores the idea of blindness and its implications. His sensitive presentation of the difficulties, disappointments, and occasional delightswhich follow the recovery of sight by someone blind since infancy is still one of the best accounts in fiction.

Описание: During Virginia Woolf's lifetime Britain's position in the world changed, and so did the outlook of its people. The Boer War and the First World War forced politicians and citizens alike to ask how far the power of the state extended into the lives of individuals; the rise of fascism provided one menacing answer. Woolf's experiments in fiction, and her unique position in the publishing world, allowed her to address such intersections of the public and the private.

Michael H. Whitworth shows how ideas and images from contemporary novelists, philosophers, theorists, and scientists fuelled her writing, and how critics, film-makers, and novelists have reinterpreted her work for later generations. The book includes a chronology of Virginia Woolf's life and times, suggestions for further reading, websites, illustrations, and a comprehensive index.
