Abstract:
Mary Rose Barrington was born in London; her parents were Americans with Polish-Jewish roots who decided to settle in England. By her own account (she very considerately left a biographical note for her obituary writer), her childhood was idyllic, mostly spent riding her pony and playing tennis, as well as reading her older brother’s science fiction. Later she became interested in classical music (she was an accomplished musician, playing cello in a string quartet and singing alto in a local choir) and in poetry, obtaining a degree in English from Oxford University. She then studied law, quali

Abstract:
Whilst the literature of the Spanish Golden Age is itself filled with problems of representation, I will argue in this paper that the greatest misrepresentation of all did not occur in fiction but rather in the English court. During Elizabeth’s reign Lord Burghley, working with his secretary Sir Francis Walsingham, systematically misrepresented Spanish culture, deliberately obscuring the English perception of Spanish Golden Age and casting over it a veil of fear. The Earl of Leicester, by contrast, working only to improve his own reputation as a literary patron and man of letters, inadvertentl

Abstract The title of my article bears a double meaning. On the one hand, it refers to a group of Conservative politicians around Boris Johnson who studied at Oxford University in the eighties and who are identified in Jonathan Coe’s novel as the engineers behind the Brexit; on the other hand, Coe’s novel portrays a fictional group of scholars who are more or less frustrated and dissatisfied with the university for various reasons and turn their backs on academia to find their luck elsewhere.

The present paper has been specifically designed to investigate diasporic elements in the selected novel of Amit Chaudhuri’s Odysseus Abroad. Indian diaspora literature has emerged as an academic discipline in the age of multiculturalism and transnationalism. It has been flourished by Indian origin authors who have migrated in different nations for different reasons. The galaxy of Indian Diaspora literature is enriched by notable male-female authors who have projected the trauma and complexities of abroad life in their fictional works.

Abstract:
Abstract Daniel Defoe’s writings have been cited by both sides in the debate over whether family structures were characterized by change or continuity in early modern England. This essay analyses representations of domesticity in Defoe, to explore the relationship between fictional and non-fictional constructions, and assess their ideological, historical, and literary significance. It argues that Defoe’s works cannot be accommodated into conventional paradigms of a shift from feudalism to capitalism, or from public to private ideology. Instead, both the fiction and non-fiction construct a dome

It selects a range of novels to explore authorial preoccupations in relation to Catholicism. Setting fiction at the time of the early Church or of the Reformation and Elizabethan Settlement enabled English authors to explore the nature of English identity, Church doctrine, and the question of Catholic loyalty to Crown and State. Notably, preoccupations did not include the Irish Catholic migrants. Irish Catholic fiction of the same

Abstract The construction of race in early modern England relied upon the creation of non-Christian subjects. English colonial activity was largely directed against fellow Christians: Irish Catholics, Spanish Catholics, converted Africans or people of African descent. But the extermination or enslavement of a people becomes impossible to justify against acknowledged Christians. The means by which England becomes both ‘white’ and ‘Christian’ was a racial fiction that purged English Protestantism of Catholics and other Christians who were not regarded as properly part of the nation-state.

Abstract:
Abstract Poverty and hunger appear like a leitmotiv in Orwell’s fiction, as subjects for study in their own right but also as providing a context for a system of values that he came to understand as democratic socialism, what he also called ‘common decency’. On his return to Europe after serving in the Indian Imperial Police, Orwell embarked on a mission to experience poverty at first hand, in Paris, London, and the north of England. His sympathy for the poor turned into respect for their values. By contrast he disdained the ruling classes who had lost their moral compass—their soul. Orwell li

Abstract:
Abstract The Victorian novelist who meant the most to Orwell and who left the most profound impression on his own work was George Gissing. ‘Perhaps the best novelist England has produced’, Orwell wrote in a Tribune essay from 1943. Compliments to Gissing are scattered through Orwell’s writings like confetti at a wedding, and Orwell repeatedly proselytized on the earlier writer’s behalf. This chapter considers the implications of Orwell’s esteem, and reflects on the Gissing novels he read; on his own writings about Gissing; and on Gissing’s influence on Orwell’s fiction.

Abstract As ideas of cultural identity in Britain solidified between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Romantic-period narratives of the nation’s literary heritage confronted and accommodated a long history of contacts and exchanges with neighbouring traditions.

Abstract Sidney’s revised version of the Arcadia was left unfinished at the time of his death. From the opening scene of the New Arcadia, where the pastoral world of Montemayor’s Diana is almost literally swept off the page by the changeable sea of Heliodoran romance, it is clear that the familiar fictional world of the Old Arcadia has turned into a much larger and far more complicated domain. Within it, the physical wanderings of the young heroes of the New Arcadia develop in tandem with the branching out and purposeful ‘wandering’ of the narrative itself.
