Passion and Pathology in Victorian Fiction

Passion and Pathology in Victorian Fiction

Jane Wood

Oxford University Press
2001
sidottu
In what was once described as 'the century of nerves', a fascination with the mysterious processes governing physical and psychological states was shared by medical and fiction writers alike. This elegant study offers an integrated analysis of how medicine and literature figured the connection between the body and the mind. Alongside detailed examinations of some of the century's most influential neurological and physiological theories, Jane Wood brings readings of both major and relatively neglected fictions - a range which includes work by Charlotte Brontë and George MacDonald, George Eliot and Wilkie Collins, Thomas Hardy and George Gissing. Stepping into an already lively area of interdisciplinary debate, Passion and Pathology is distinguished by its recognition of the intellectual and imaginative force of both discourses: it extends our understanding of the interaction between science and literature in the wider culture of the period.

The Schooling of Working-Class Girls in Victorian Scotland

The Schooling of Working-Class Girls in Victorian Scotland

Jane McDermid

Routledge
2005
nidottu
The portrayal of Scotland as a particularly patriarchal society has traditionally had the effect of marginalizing Scottish women, both teachers and students, in both Scottish and British history. The Schooling of Working-Class Girls in Victorian Scotland examines and challenges this assumption and analyzes in detail the course of events which has led to a more enlightened system.Education was, and is, seen as integral to Scottish distinctiveness, but the Victorian period saw anxious debate about the impact of outside influences at a time when Scottish society seemed to be fracturing. This book examines the gender-blindness of the educational tradition, with its notion of the 'democratic intellect', testing the claim of superiority for the Scottish system, and questioning the assumption that Scottish women were either passive victims or willing dupes of a peculiarly patriarchal ideal. Considering the influences of the related ideologies of patriarchy and domesticity, and the crucial importance of the local and regional economic context, in focusing on female education, this book provides a much wider comparative study of Scottish society during a period of tremendous upheaval and a perceived crisis in national identity, in which women, as well as men, participated.

Defining the Victorian Nation

Defining the Victorian Nation

Catherine Hall; Keith McClelland; Jane Rendall

Cambridge University Press
2000
sidottu
Defining the Victorian Nation offers a fresh perspective on one of the most significant pieces of legislation in nineteenth-century Britain. Catherine Hall, Keith McClelland and Jane Rendall demonstrate that the Second Reform Act of 1867 was marked not only by extensive controversy about the extension of the vote, but also by new concepts of masculinity and the masculine voter, the beginnings of the movement for women’s suffrage, and a parallel debate about the meanings and forms of national belonging. The chapters in this book draw on recent developments in cultural, social and gender history, broadening the study of nineteenth-century British political history and integrating questions of nation and empire. Fascinating illustrations illuminate the argument, and a detailed chronology, biographical notes and selected bibliography offer further support to the student reader. Students and scholars in history, women’s studies, cultural studies, and postcolonial studies will find this book invaluable.

Separated by class barriers and social pressure, the fated duo hurt and enthrall each other by turns as they move toward an emotional doom that neither will recognize until it is too late.

Benjamin Reagan has spent his entire life aboard Victoria, towing ships and (sometimes illicit) cargo across the skies. When Disaster strikes, Ben and Vicky go from towing damaged ships to picking up damaged survivors. First to be rescued is Thorbin, a fighter pilot reeling from unbearable loss and defeat, longing to rediscover his destiny. As the unlikely pair journey towards Mars, fighting aliens, pirates and mobsters along the way, they pick up more survivors: an alien sexpot looking for her next sugar daddy; an aging warrior with a penchant for mass destruction; and a girl-next-door engineer who'd rather be hunting for the father of her unborn, fat babies than nasty aliens. With a mercenary for hire and a devious blonde bombshell also along for the ride, it's up to Ben and Thorbin to ensure a crippled Victoria and her crew make it to their next destination. Can the gang survive the sea of change before them? Or is this the final port for Victoria's crew - and the rest of humanity?
