Tennyson Among the Novelists
Author: John Morton
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1441176624
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Until now, the study of literary allusion has focused on allusions made by poets to other poets. In Tennyson Among the Novelists, John Morton presents the first book-length account of the presence of a poet's work in works of prose fiction. As well as shedding new light on the poems of Tennyson and their reception history, Morton covers a wide variety of novelists including Thomas Hardy, James Joyce, Evelyn Waugh, and Andrew O'Hagan, offering a fresh look at their approach to writing. Morton shows how Tennyson's poetry, despite its frequent depreciation by critics, has survived as a vivifying presence in the novel from the Victorian period to the present day.

The Meanings of Home in Elizabeth Gaskell's Fiction
Author: Carolyn Lambert
Publisher: Victorian Secrets
ISBN: 1906469687
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
In this beautifully written study, Carolyn Lambert explores the ways in which Elizabeth Gaskell challenges the nineteenth-century cultural construct of the home as a domestic sanctuary offering protection from the stresses and strains of the external world. Gaskell’s fictional homes often fail to provide a place of safety: doors and windows are ambiguous openings through which death can enter, and are potent signifiers of entrapment as well as protective barriers. The underlying fragility of Gaskell’s concept of home is illustrated by her narratives of homelessness, a state she uses to represent psychological, social, and emotional separation. By drawing on Gaskell’s novels, letters, and non-fiction writings, Lambert shows how her detailed descriptions of domestic interiors allow for nuanced and unconventional interpretations of character and behaviour. Lambert argues that Gaskell’s own experience was that of an outsider whose own difficulties are reflected in her multi-faceted and complex portrayals of home in her fiction.
