Cambridge University Press The Victorian Supernatural 42 Cambridge Studies in NineteenthCentury Literature and Culture Series Number 42
Book SynopsisThe Victorians were haunted by the supernatural, by ghosts and fairies, table-rappings and telepathic encounters, occult religions and the idea of reincarnation, visions of the other world and a reality beyond the everyday. The Victorian Supernatural explores the sources of these beliefs in their literary, historical and cultural contexts. The collection brings together essays by scholars from literature, history of art and history of science, which examine the diversity of the Victorians' fascination with the supernatural. The essays show that the supernatural was not simply a reaction to a post-Darwinian loss of faith, but was embedded in virtually every aspect of Victorian culture. This important interdisciplinary study sheds light on debates surrounding the relationship between high and popular Victorian culture and contemporary notions of the supernatural.Trade Review'… the studies feature new approaches and/or works about which not so much has been written yet.' Annotated Bibliography for English Studies'Each of the volume's essays is well presented and finely tuned …' Modernism/Modernity' … the volume's eleven essays are, without exception, richly detailed and engaging.'

Cambridge University Press Henry James and the Imagination of Pleasure
Book SynopsisHadley examines how James disentangles himself from the moralizing frame through which English-language novels in the nineteenth century had imagined sexual passion. She shows how he pursues his ambitious enterprise to represent the privileges and the pains of turn-of-the-century leisure-class society.Trade Review"...it is a great pleasure to read Tessa Hadley's own prose: not only is her argument finely crafted; it is often eloquent..." The Henry James Review"Treating primarily the novels of the 1890's, Hadley's welcome book provides an unprecedented analysis of the moral framework James trancended to express sexual passion in his fiction. This volume will deepen understanding of the power and subtleties of the great love affairs in James's fictions; it is an essential work of criticism for all collections of modern English literature." Choice"...a welcome addition to recent assessments meant to combat our view of James..." English Literature in Transition 1880-1920Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. 'Just you wait!': reflections on the last chapters of The Portrait of a Lady; 2. 'In a dream or an old novel': governesses in What Maisie Knew and The Turn of the Screw; 3. 'The sacred terror': The Awkward Age and James's men of the world; 4. 'Blushing in the dark': language and sex in The Ambassadors; 5. 'Poor girls with their rent to pay': class in In the Cage and The Wings of the Dove; 6. 'The house of quiet': privileges and pleasures in The Golden Bowl.
