George Eliot’s ‘The Lifted Veil’
Author: Franco Marucci
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000519023
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The negative historical judgment given to George Eliot’s ‘The Lifted Veil’ amounts nowadays to a gross critical blunder, and in the last three decades the story has been firmly reinstated in Eliot’s major canon. The premise of the present book is that George Eliot’s oeuvre is a compact macrotext where themes, motifs, patterns and cultural and personal archetypes recur with variations, and that ‘The Lifted Veil’ functions as the linchpin of this oeuvre. A sequential approach to the story is authorized by the use of a mimetic enunciation that simulates a gradual ‘definition’ of events, places, and characters as they have appeared to the narrating ‘I’ in the course of time until the moment of the enunciation. Contextualizing ‘The Lifted Veil’ means placing it within Eliot’s oeuvre and against the background of Victorian mid-century fiction; in a further meaning, seeing it as intersecting various contemporary genres and subgenres, such as that of the European and American ‘literature of the veil’, that of the archetypal icon of the femme fatale, that of Wilkie Collins’s ‘dead secret’ novels. The most significant facet that critical literature on ‘The Lifted Veil’ has tended to overlook is however the encrypting of the experience of a failed religious conversion and the foreshadowing of the search for a spiritual and racial identity of Daniel Deronda, the hero of Eliot’s final novel.

Pages : 209
Book Description
When Emilie Wyld, a disenchanted art student, takes a caretaker position at Kingsgrove Estate in the sleepy southern town of Willow Vale, she thinks she’s just found the best way to start a new life on her own. All she has to do is care for the house and keep the gentle, mute proprietor, Miss Adalynn King, company. But as she explores Willow Vale and meets the locals, she discovers another side to the charming, friendly place—whisperings of misused Voodoo. It isn’t long before Emilie realizes that the rambling, isolated estate holds secrets and Miss King won’t admit what she knows. As the grand estate’s strange creaks and cries become more than the strain of old timber and stone, Emilie comes face-to-face with the haunting past that Miss King can’t endure alone. Soon the electrifying presence of a long-ago, forgotten man begins to haunt Emilie—there’s something about him she just can’t shake, and she finds herself longing to help him. But the darkness that surrounds the small southern town isn’t going to make it easy for her. Suddenly, Emilie realizes she’s the only one who can fight to uncover the traumas and wrong-doings from the King family’s past, and make a great sacrifice for the sake of love.

The Torn Veil
Author: Daniel M. Gurtner
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781139463126
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
In this 2006 text, Daniel M. Gurtner examines the meaning of the rending of the veil at the death of Jesus in Matthew 27:51a by considering the functions of the veil in the Old Testament and its symbolism in Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism. Gurtner incorporates these elements into a compositional exegesis of the rending text in Matthew. He concludes that the rending of the veil is an apocalyptic assertion like the opening of heaven revealing, in part, end-time images drawn from Ezekiel 37. Moreover, when the veil is torn Matthew depicts the cessation of its function, articulating the atoning role of Christ's death which gives access to God not simply in the sense of entering the Holy of Holies (as in Hebrews), but in trademark Matthean Emmanuel Christology: 'God with us'. This underscores the significance of Jesus' atoning death in the first gospel.
