Cambridge University Press Romantic Vagrancy
Book SynopsisReading Wordsworth - and Rousseau before him - from the perspective of recent debates about the political and social rights of the homeless, Celeste Langan argues that both literature and vagrancy are surprisingly rich and disturbing images of the 'negative freedom' at the heart of liberalism.Trade Review'This is an extraordinarily important, exhilarating and brilliant piece of work on Wordsworth, and one of the most interesting pieces of critical inquiry on any subject I have read in some time.' Alan Liu'This volume is so rich in its range of reference, so varied in the modes of analysis it offers, and so thickly punctuated by the analogies it uses as its method, that it is certain to offer much to any reader interested in the philosophical and historical origins of liberalism, and their place within the formation of poetic subject in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.' British Journal of Eighteenth-Century StudiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgments; List of abbreviations; A methodological preamble; Introduction; 1. Rousseau plays the beggar: the last words of citizen subject; 2. Money walks: Wordsworth and the right to wander; 3. Walking and talking at the same time: the 'two histories' of The Prelude; 4.

Cambridge University Press The Sickroom in Victorian Fiction The Art of Being Ill 1 Cambridge Studies in NineteenthCentury Literature and Culture Series Number 1
Book SynopsisIn this exploration of the significance of illness in the Victorian literary imagination Miriam Bailin maps the cultural implications and narrative effects of the sickroom as an important symbolic space in nineteenth-century life and literature. Dr Bailin draws on non-fictional accounts of illness by Julia Stephen, Harriet Martineau and others to illuminate the presentation of illness and ministration, patient and nurse, in the fiction of Charlotte BrontÃ, Charles Dickens and George Eliot. She argues that the sickroom functions as an imagined retreat from conflicts in Victorian society, and that fictional representations of illness serve to resolve both social conflict and aesthetic tension. Her concentration on the sickroom scene as a compositional response to insistent formal as well as social problems yields fresh readings of canonical works and approaches to the constituent elements of Victorian realist narrative.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements; A note on texts; Introduction; 1. Life in the sickroom; 2. Charlotte Brontë: 'varieties of pain'; 3. Charles Dickens: 'impossible existences'; 4. George Eliot: 'separateness and communication'; 5. Afterword; Notes; Bibliography; Index.
