Drawing primarily on unpublished, undated poetry and prose, this book represents a long ov...

This book is about what does not happen in the Victorian novel. Through careful examination of the plots of several nineteenth-century classics, Glatt argues for the central role of these "unwritten plots" in Victorian narrative construction. Abandoning the allegorical mode-in which characters are bound by fixed identities to reach a predetermined conclusion-and turning away from classical and historical plots with outcomes already known to au...

Metafiction" refers to any novel that draws attention to its own fictional construction, something largely associated with the postmodern era. In this innovative new book Tabitha Sparks identifies a sustained pattern of metafiction in the Victorian novel that illuminates the art and intentions of its female practitioners. Novels written by many Victorian women shared a common but underexamined trope: the fictional characterization of the woman...

The term virtue is ubiquitous in eighteenth-century British literature, but its definition is more often assumed than explained. Bringing together two significant threads of eighteenth-century scholarship-one on republican civic identity and the mythic legacy of the freeborn Briton and the other on how England's global encounters were shaped by orientalist fantasies-this book examines how England's sense of collective virtue was inflected and ...

Elizabeth Smith gained transnational fame posthumously for her extensive intellectual accomplishments, which encompassed astronomy, botany, history, and poetry. As she navigated her place in the world, Smith made a self-conscious decision to keep her many talents hidden from disapproving critics. Therefore, her rise to fame began only in 1808, when her posthumous memoir appeared. Although Smith was cast as "exceptional" by her contemporaries a...

In this timely and important study, Helga Lenart-Cheng has uncovered the antecedents of this phenomenon and provided a historical and critical analysis of this seemingly new but in fact deeply rooted tradition. Story Revolutions features a rich variety ...
