Explores Elizabeth Bowen's significant contribution to twentieth-century literary theory
Provides new avenues for research in Bowen studies in ways that are concerned primarily with Bowen's perception of writing and narrative
Moves away from perceptions of Bowen's writing tied to existing ideological categories, such as viewing her work through a lens of psychoanalysis, modernism, or Irish or British history and which emphasise Bowen's innovation not as central to our understanding of the changes happening in twentieth-century literature and history, but as instead a point of 'difficulty'
Recognises Bowen's innovation, experimentation and her impact on her contemporaries and literary descendants
From experiments in language and identity to innovations in the novel, the short story and life narratives, the contributors discuss the way in which Bowen's work straddles, informs and defies the existing definitions of modernist and postmodernist literature which dominate twentieth-century writing. The eleven chapters present new scholarship on Bowen's inventiveness and unique writing style and attachment to objects, covering topics such as queer adolescents, housekeeping, female fetishism, habit and new technologies such as the telephone.

For Virginia Woolf, H.D., Mary Butts and Gwendolyn Brooks, things mobilise creativity, traverse domestic, public and rural spaces and stage the interaction between the sublime and the mundane. Ordinary things are rendered extraordinary by their spiritual or emotional significance, and yet their very ordinariness remains part of their value.
This book addresses the intersection of spirituality, things and places - both natural and built environments - in the work of these four women modernists. From the living pebbles in Mary Butts's memoir to the pencil sought in Woolf's urban pilgrimage in 'Street Haunting', the Christmas decorations crafted by children in H.D.'s autobiographical novel The Gift and Maud Martha's love of dandelions in Brooks's only novel, things indicate spiritual concerns in these writers' work. Elizabeth Anderson contributes to current debates around materiality, vitalism and post-secularism, attending to both mainstream and heterodox spiritual expressions and connections between the two in modernism. How we value our spaces and our world being one of the most pressing contemporary ethical and ecological concerns, this volume contributes to the debate by arguing that a change in our attitude towards the environment will not come from a theory of renunciation but through attachment to and regard for material things.

Описание: Elizabeth Bowen and the Dissolution of the Novel argues that the Anglo- Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) is one of the most important, though undervalued, practitioner of the twentieth-century novel in English. The authors contend that Bowen`s work calls for a radically new conception of criticism and theory - and of the novel itself.

Автор: Ruth Morris Название: The Literary Evolution of Mary Elizabeth Braddon: A Study of the Darwinian Vision in The Doctor`s Wife and Other Novels ISBN: 1680530526 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781680530520 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 109950.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This work is a comparative reading of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's The Doctor's Wife (1864) with its source text, Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1857). The study argues that the geotheories prevalent in England and France at the time each of the respective novels was written offer compelling reasons to understand why the two novels diverge so dramatically. There is a consideration of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species and Georges Cuvier's work in catastrophism. The focus of the discussion is on Braddon's work, with Flaubert's novel being used to show the points of contrast. The study considers how Braddon's novel is an anglicized adaptation of the French novel and how Braddon changes her work in order to make it appealing to an English audience. This is examined by reading the novel through a variety of different contexts, including the political, the legal, and the medical, as science is only one of the strands through which the novel reflects English notions of geotheory. In addition to studying The Doctor's Wife, there are also references from 51 of Braddon's other novels and collections to consider the evolutionary strand throughout her works.

Victorian Pilgrimage: Sacred-Secular Dualism in the Novels of Charlotte Bront?, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot argues that Charlotte Bront?, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot are foremost among nineteenth-century novelists to explore the pilgrimage motif, a major preoccupation of the Victorian imagination. Drawing upon their primary sources of the journey archetype—the King James Bible, The Pilgrim’s Progress, and popular hymns—they reveal in their work the significance of the religious impetus, which in their treatment is neither narrowly moralistic nor conformist. Recognizing the radicality of scripture free of its patriarchal bias, they bring a feminine sensibility to their delineation of gender ideologies in romantic and marital relationships as well as to their reformulation of the traditional fictional heroine. Their female protagonists are caught in the struggle between succumbing to the stereotypical ideal of womanhood and attaining authentic selfhood leading to both personal and social transformation. Sharing the conviction that the main dilemma of their times is the separation of sacred from secular, Bront?, Gaskell, and Eliot, each with a distinctive approach to the theme, open up fresh perceptual and relational pathways for pilgrimage.

Описание: Explores the ways in which servant-master relationships reshaped literature.

Rivlin argues that in the early modern period, servants found new positions as subjects and authors found new forms of literature.
