Excavating Modernity
Physical, Temporal and Psychological Strata in Literature, 1900-1930
AvEleanor Dobson,Gemma Banks
Häftad, Engelska, 2020
782 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book scrutinizes physical, temporal and psychological strata across early twentieth-century literature, focusing on geological and archaeological tropes and conceptions of the stratified psyche. The essays explore psychological perceptions, from practices of envisioning that mimic looking at a painting, photograph or projected light, to the comprehension of the palimpsestic complexities of language, memory and time. This collection is the first to see early twentieth-century physical, temporal and psychological strata interact across a range of canonical and popular authors, working in a variety of genres, from theatre to ghost stories, children’s literature to modernist magna opera.

Ancient Egypt in the Modern Imagination
Art, Literature and Culture
AvEleanor Dobson,Nichola Tonks
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
478 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Ancient Egypt has always been a source of fascination to writers, artists and architects in the West. This book is the first study to address representations of Ancient Egypt in the modern imagination, breaking down conventional disciplinary boundaries between fields such as History, Classics, Art History, Fashion, Film, Archaeology, Egyptology, and Literature to further a nuanced understanding of ancient Egypt in cultures stretching from the eighteenth century to the present day, emphasising how some of the various meanings of ancient Egypt to modern people have traversed time and media.Divided into three themes, the chapters scrutinise different aspects of the use of ancient Egypt in a variety of media, looking in particular at the ways in which Egyptology as a discipline has influenced representations of Egypt, ancient Egypt’s associations with death and mysticism, as well as connections between ancient Egypt and gendered power. The diversity of this study aims to emphasise both the multiplicity and the patterning of popular responses to ancient Egypt, as well as the longevity of this phenomenon and its relevance today.
Marie Corelli
New Perspectives on Cultural Currency in Popular Fiction and the Literary Marketplace
AvEleanor Dobson,Joanna Turner
Inbunden, Engelska, 2027
1 301 kr
Kommande
Marie Corelli knew what it took to stay current through the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. She played on her relevancy to ‘her public’ in the face of criticism within the review pages. She engineered her own cultural significance by contriving connections to other writers, through intertextual references and conspicuous interventions concerned with the preservation of literary heritage and, in her late career, endeavoured to stay up to date by moving with shifting ideas of scientific discovery and gender, and by changing her publishing strategy. This book explores how Corelli’s contemporaneous fame and bestselling popular fiction were predicated upon a canny ability to capitalise upon emerging discourses, societal concerns and literary trends. Its chapters apply new critical approaches to bring cohesive understanding to Corelli as a literary phenomenon, persuade as to her significance in the wider field of Victorian studies and offer a transhistorical perspective on cultural currency and the popular voice.
Writing the Sphinx
Literature, Culture and Egyptology
AvEleanor Dobson
Häftad, Engelska, 2022

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
This book explores literary and Egyptological cultures from the closing decades of the nineteenth century to the opening decades of the twentieth, culminating in the aftermath of the high-profile discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. Analysing the works of Egyptologists including Howard Carter, Arthur Weigall and E. A. Wallis Budge alongside those of their literary contemporaries such as H. Rider Haggard, Marie Corelli and Oscar Wilde, it investigates the textual, cultural and material exchanges between literature, Egyptology and visual and material culture across this period.
Victorian Literary Culture and Ancient Egypt

This edited collection considers representations of ancient Egypt in the literature of the nineteenth-century. It addresses themes such as reanimated mummies, ancient Egyptian mythology and contemporary consumer culture across literary modes ranging from burlesque satire to historical novels, stage performances to Gothic fiction and popular culture to the highbrow. The book illuminates unknown sources of historical significance – including the first illustration of an ambulatory mummy – revising current understandings of the works of canonical writers and grounding its analysis firmly in a contemporary context. The contributors demonstrate the extensive range of cultural interest in ancient Egypt that flourished during Victoria’s reign. At the same time, they use ancient Egypt to interrogate ‘selfhood’ and ‘otherness’, notions of race, imperialism, religion, gender and sexuality.
