Christina Rossetti’s Speaking Likenesses: Different Forms of Travel in Victorian Children’s Literature

2011

Este artículo afirma que el interés victoriano por la reescritura de la literatura infantil va de la mano con su interés por la narrativa de viajes y de aventuras. Con la interpretación de diferentes formas de reescritura y de viajes, la edad de oro de la literatura infantil pone en relación el pasado y el presente. Dado que, tanto el acto de reescribir como el del viaje se encuentran en un lugar entremedias —entre pasado y presente, cerca y lejos, el texto original y su adaptación—, sugiero que la reescritura y el viaje colaboran en la narrativa infantil a la representación de la mujer errante e irónica. La primera parte del artículo describe la tradición de la narración y la adaptación de…

“An Unpleasant Book about Unpleasant Boys at an Unpleasant School”: Kipling’s Reshaping of the Victorian School Story in “Stalky & Co.”

2022

“Slaves of the Lamp, Part One”—the first tale of Rudyard Kipling’s Stalky & Co.—was published in 1897, forty years after the publication of Thomas Hughes’s Tom Brown’s Schooldays, a book that created a pattern followed by other practitioners of the school-story genre. The aim of the following paper is to discuss the ways in which Kipling challenged the established conventions of the Victorian school story. In contrast to his predecessors, Kipling did not set his tales in an old, established public school; he questioned the importance of sports and games in developing manly character; and refused to idolize the school traditions. His protagonists rebel against authority and do not follow…

The notion of physical and moral well-being : relationship and interaction in George Eliot's literary works

2020

This dissertation analyzes the concept of well-being in the writings of George Eliot in order to account for the question of the individual in his/her relationships with the other and others such as animals and the environment so as to obtain physical, moral as well as personal and social well-being along the resulting ethics and aesthetics. For the novelist, well-being finds its source in the individuals’ suffering in British nineteenth-century society. Conceiving well-being from Eliot’s point of view therefore means giving priority to individual relationships and interactions. This relational vision of well-being amounts to considering the social regularities related to community life, th…
