  • Women and Romance

    The Consolations of Gender in the English Novel

    de Laurie Langbauer ...
    Series series Reading Women Writing

  • How Novels Think

    The Limits of Individualism from 1719-1900

    de Nancy Armstrong ...
    Nancy Armstrong argues that the history of the novel and the history of the modern individual are, quite literally, one and the same. She suggests that certain works of fiction created a subject, one displaying wit, will, or energy capable of shifting the social order to grant the exceptional person a place commensurate with his or her individual worth. Once the novel had created this figure, ... Leer más

    The Ethical Experience of the Victorian Novel

Good Form argues that Victorian readers associated the feeling of narrative form—of being pulled forward to a satisfying conclusion—with inner moral experience. Reclaiming the work of a ... Leer más

In Women Constructing Men, scholars from Australia, Canada, Germany, Great Britain and the United States begin to sketch the outline of a new literary history of ... Leer más
