Описание: What he himself characteristically called ‘his idiosyncratic mode of regard’ is a factor few readers of Hardy’s novels can overlook and one with which all serious students of his fiction must come to terms. The fact that there is nevertheless little final agreement about the nature of his achievement has prompted Miss Vigar to make a fresh study of Hardy’s own notes and essays on the art of the novel and to analyse his fictional technique in the light of these unduly neglected observations. Her approach centres on Hardy’s pervasive theme of the contrast between appearance and reality and on his frequent use of ‘pictorial’ devices to express his imaginative vision. She is able to develop a critical account of Hardy’s work that can convincingly explain, by reference to the same criteria, both its strengths and its weaknesses, its successes and failures.

Автор: Rita Elizabeth Rippetoe Название: Reappraising Jane Duncan: Sexuality, Race and Colonialism in the My Friends Novels ISBN: 0786498870 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780786498871 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 38810.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Can a novelist that the Times described as ""enchanting"" in her portrayal of a young girl and her family in a small Highland village reveal greater depths? Below the surface of Jane Duncan's Friends series deeper themes are at play in the nineteen novels. Alert readers will discover feminist motifs, a wide-ranging examination of women's education and work in the twentieth century, a woman's view of the rising tensions of the 1920s and 30s, and an outsider's view of the racial tensions in the soon-to-be-independent West Indies. Duncan's characters run the gamut from drunken tinkers to rigidly respectable Lowland housewives; from Irish miners to members of the London fast set; from English marchionesses to the semi-aristocratic plantocracy of the West Indies, all portrayed with telling detail. While the postwar Angry Young Men monopolized the attention of the publishing establishment, literary critics and academics dismissed the Friends novels as lightweight.Though out of print for decades Duncan's works continued to be sought out and read by loyal fans. Two of the novels have been reprinted since the anniversary of her birth in 2010, while eBooks have made the series available to a new generation of readers and scholars ready to celebrate a charming and perceptive recorder of the great changes that the Great Britain underwent in the past century.

Автор: Henson Название: Landscape and Gender in the Novels of Charlotte Bront?, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy ISBN: 1138250589 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138250581 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 59190.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Examining a wide range of representations of physical, metaphorical, and dream landscapes in Charlotte BrontA«, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy, Eithne Henson explores the way in which gender attitudes are expressed, both in descriptions of landscape as the human body and in ideas of nature. Henson discusses the influence of eighteenth-century aesthetic theory, particularly on BrontA« and Eliot, and argues that Ruskinian aesthetics, Darwinism, and other scientific preoccupations of an industrializing economy, changed constructions of landscape in the later nineteenth century. Henson examines the conventions of reading landscape, including the implied expectations of the reader, the question of the gendered narrator, how place defines the kind of action and characters in the novels, the importance of landscape in creating mood, the pastoral as a moral marker for readers, and the influence of changing aesthetic theory on the implied painterly models that the three authors reproduce in their work. She also considers how each writer defines the concept of Englishness against an internal or colonial Other. Alongside these concerns, Henson interrogates the ancient trope that equates woman with nature, and the effect of comparing women to natural objects or offering them as objects of the male gaze, typically to diminish or control them. Informed by close readings, Henson's study offers an original approach to the significances of landscape in the 'realist' nineteenth-century novel.
