Abstract:
Abstract In the past four decades, the discourse on addiction in the United States has dramatically changed. Most scholarly and popular accounts have depicted this change as an instance of “medicalization,” whereby medical definitions and imperatives have displaced those of morality, war, or criminal justice. This article seeks to revise that dominant characterization. In fact, the medicalization trend is only one part of a broader discursive shift, in which addiction has been normalized as a form of attachment and conduct—rendered ordinary, even predictable or natural, for a human life.

Abstract What is a family novel? Russian literary scholars—who use the term frequently—claim that it is originally an English genre, yet in English scholarship the term has virtually disappeared. This article recovers the lost history of the family novel, tracing two separate strands: usage of the term and form/content of the novels. The genre began in England with Richardsonian domestic fiction and spread to Russia, where it evolved along different lines, shaped by the different social and political context. In England, the fate of the term turns out to be tied up with the fate of women write

Trey Ellis has emerged as a prominent African American writer of the late-twentieth century, despite the small number of his published works. “The New Black Aesthetic,” an essay that he first published in CaUaloo in 1989, one year after the publication of his first novel, Platitudes, stands as a manifesto that defines and articulates his perspective on the emerging black literary voices and culture of the time, and on “the future of African American artistic expression” in the postmodern era.1 According to Eric Lott, Ellis's novel parodies the literary and cultural conflict between such male e

Abstract:
The oedipal principle characteristic of the nineteenth-century novel of adultery survives into twentieth-century narrative fiction too, as exemplified in two films of the late century, Fatal Attraction (1987) and The Piano (1993). In both, a marriage is disrupted by the desire of an outsider. This article begins with that comparison, and then it turns to a third example of triangulation, The Talented Mr Ripley (1999).

Abstract In an effort to better understand the rise of discourse on women vis-à-vis the impact of the modern, this paper discusses issues of gender in the context of pre-twentieth-century reading practices in Korea. The usual trajectory of scholarship on pre-twentieth-century book culture first associates women with indigenous script (han’gŭl), then links them with the literary genre of the novel, and thus defines women as the main reader group for novels written in han’gŭl. However, low literacy rates and socio-cultural factors surrounding Chosŏn women challenge rather than support this assoc

Serialisation allowed for remarkable experimentation with the new genre of the novel in colonial South Asia. The open nature of serialisation in South Asia, in which novels were not planned in advance but rather could develop and change while in progress, meant that serialised versions of novels were often more experimental than their later book editions. In this article, I use the pioneering Urdu novel Fasāna-e Āzād (1878–83) as a case study to examine serialisation’s effects on the emerging novel genre in the late nineteenth-century South Asia.

The three contributions to this special issue are then introduced and the commonalities and divergences between them are highlighted.

After numerous declarations in recent decades about the death of the novel, the death of the author and the death of literary criticism, it is evident that the novel as a genre has survived, authors remain a subject of study, and new app

This thesis conducts a close analysis of representations of trauma in six late twentieth century novels. I construct a theoretical framework by examining debates about trauma and narrative which have taken place in the fields of historiography, social studies, psychoanalysis and literary fiction. By drawing on these debates, I argue that the relationship between narrative and trauma is paradoxical: narrative is an essential tool, both for working-through and bearing witness to the trauma, but it can also intentionally or unintentionally be used to create an inauthentic version of events.

This thesis examines the meanings and uses of the impression in the essays and late novels of Henry James. While James found fault with impressionism in French painting and literature, he repeatedly called the novel an ‘impression of life’, and used the term to figure important moments of perception and action for his protagonists. This thesis offers the first full-length study of the impression on its own terms, rather than through the lens of a wider artistic or philosophical movement, the most obvious example being impressionism.

Full text
Abstract:
This introductory chapter explains that the book provides a background on Victorian novels by George Eliot and Thomas Hardy—two writers who have set the fundamental terms for contemporary critical conceptualizations of late nineteenth-century realism, domestic fiction, and psychological novel. Both writers' works demonstrate an abiding interest in character and readerly interiority and in making overarching claims about social and psychic life. It talks about the practices of narration and characterization deployed by Eliot and Hardy, which are more fruitfully uneven and unintegrated than retrospective accounts that place these writers in a realist tradition. The chapter reveals some of the ways in which the profound relationality of novel reading has been foreclosed and opened back up again. In an effort to draw out the relationality of the Victorian novels, the chapter places them in conversation with a key theoretical discourse: British psychoanalysis, whose mid-twentieth- century theorists and practitioners developed “object relations” theory by building from the foundational writings of Sigmund Freud and Melanie Klein.

Abstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a historical overview of some of the contemporary infinitesimalist alternatives to the Cantor-Dedekind theory of continua. Among the theories we will consider are those that emerge from nonstandard analysis, nilpotent infinitesimalist approaches to portions of differential geometry and the theory of surreal numbers. Since these theories have roots in the algebraic, geometric and analytic infinitesimalist theories of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, we will also provide overviews of the latter theories and some of their relations to the contemporary ones. We will find that the contemporary theories, while offering novel and possible alternative visions of continua, need not be (and in many cases are not) regarded as replacements for the Cantor-Dedekind theory and its corresponding theories of analysis and differential geometry.

This chapter deals with the social anxieties of the Belle Époque and the way in which they emerged in French crime fiction. To this end, it challenges prevailing assumptions about the pioneering crime fiction of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century France, revealing that the novels of Maurice Leblanc and Gaston Leroux depict the golden age that preceded the First World War while also critiquing the dominant paradigm of the day. The chapter shows how these authors comment on society using the tropes of the crime novel, while also giving greater complexity to the crime novel by introducing the social networks and genealogies of ambiguous, damaged protagonists. These novels are also shown to have embraced psychoanalysis, which was still in its infancy.

The Introduction sets synthetic realism in the context of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century culture and aesthetics to show why literary realism needs to be grasped in metaphysical terms. Ranging across contemporary periodical culture and works of literature, philosophy, and science, it examines the ways in which realist theory and practice grapples with the recalcitrance of ‘reality’ as a shifting referential cipher. The Introduction also considers previous critical approaches and suggests that the effects of these encounters between realist aesthetics and philosophical discourse were more various, ambiguous, and complex than we might have thought. It concludes with brief overviews of the book’s five main chapters and elucidates the overarching arguments that are developed within them.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 examines derivation and re-animation in Djuna Barnes’s early-twentieth-century lyric novel, Nightwood, focusing on redeployed aesthetic figures: the sleepwalker, the unstoppable narrator, the animate statue. It shows how Barnes’s resurrection of character types is informed by the genre-fusing innovations of the commedia dell’arte. It reads Barnes in dialogue with both Laforgue’s and Verlaine’s development of the Pierrot-figure, and the sad and ominous clowns in grotesque theatre, which inform Chaplin’s Tramp and Beckett’s clowns, as well as Barnes’s characterization of the ‘doctor’. Does Nightwood cast its characters in stone, locking them into old, ritualized narrative strategies? Or are these types themselves on the move; re-animating generations of performances and forms, from Shakespeare’s bawdy, to Rabelais’s carnivalesque, to Aphra Behn’s moon-philosopher, Doctor Balierdo?

Abstract:
This article examines the transtextual legacy of Ursus in Italian cinema from the silent period to the popular ‘sword-and-sandal’ genre of the 1950s and 1960s. We discuss Ursus as a blueprint for Maciste, the iconic strongman created by Gabriele D’Annunzio for one of the biggest international hits of early Italian epic cinema, Giovanni Pastrone’s Cabiria (1914). We then discuss the persistence of the strongman icon in the following years, in relation to such topics as the emergence of physical culture during the first decades of the twentieth century, and the escalation of fascist culture and politics in the 1920s. The reappearance of Ursus in the late 1950s, in the second wave of the strongman genre, offers the opportunity to further discuss this figure in terms of both transnational reception and gender representation, exploring the multiple paths of its cultural circulation and appropriation.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the critical fortunes and adaptation history of Charlotte Brontë’s final novel, Villette. It suggests that the critical reappraisal of Villette came too late in the twentieth century for the novel to become canonised in Hollywood film adaptations in the manner of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, while at the same time, the innumerable plays and films about the Brontë sisters’ lives have limited the opportunities for adaptations of the Brontës’ other works. This chapter investigates the specific challenges of adapting Villette for the screen, while also considering why, conversely, it has been adapted more frequently for stage and radio. It argues that the solutions that radio and theatre adapters have found can force us into a reassessment of Villette’s power and distinctiveness.
