Aristocracies of Fiction: The Idea of Aristocracy in Late-19th-Century and Early-20th-century Literary CultureBloomsbury Academic, 2001. júl. 30. - 184 oldal From 1890 to 1920, the British aristocracy faded in historical importance. The culture of that period often presented aristocratic characters and typically sought to conserve aristocratic values. The fall of the aristocracy triggered astonishing literary responses. In literary works, aristocrats were transformed into warrior heroes, Scotland Yard detectives, swashbucklers, diseased degenerates, and Gothic monsters. This book explores the centrality of aristocracy to late Victorian and early-20th-century literary culture. |
