| Abstract: | A critical exploration of travel, animals and shape-changing in fin de siècle literature. Bats, beetles, wolves, butterflies, bulls, panthers, apes, leopards and spiders are among the countless creatures that crowd the pages of literature of the late nineteenth century. Whether in Gothic novels, science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, journalism, political discourse, realism or naturalism, the line between the human and the animal becomes blurred. Beastly Journeys examines these bestial transformations across a range of well-known and less familiar texts and shows how they are provoked not only by the mutations of Darwinism but by social and economic shifts that have been lost in retellings and readings of them. The physical alterations described by George Gissing, George MacDonald, Arthur Machen, Arthur Morrison, W.T. Stead, Bram Stoker, H.G. Wells, Oscar Wilde, and many of their contemporaries, are responses to changes in the social body as Britain underwent a series of social and economic crises. Metaphors of travel - social, spatial, temporal, mythical and psychological - keep these stories on the move, confusing literary genres along with the indeterminacy of physical shape that they relate. Beastly Journeys will appeal to anyone interested in the relationship between nineteenth-century literature and its contexts and especially to those interested in the fin de siècle and in metaphors of travel, animals and shape-changing |

Bats, beetles, wolves, butterflies, bulls, panthers, apes, leopards and spiders are among the countless creatures that crowd the pages of literature of the late nineteenth century. Whether in Gothic novels, science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, journalism, political discourse, realism or naturalism, the line between the human and the animal becomes blurred. Beastly Journeys examines these bestial transformations across a range of well-known and less familiar texts and shows how they are provoked not only by the mutations of Darwinism but by social and economic shifts that have been lost in retellings and readings of them. The physical alterations described by George Gissing, George MacDonald, Arthur Machen, Arthur Morrison, W.T. Stead, Bram Stoker, H.G. Wells, Oscar Wilde, and many of their contemporaries, are responses to changes in the social body as Britain underwent a series of social and economic crises. Metaphors of travel - social, spatial, temporal, mythical and psychological - keep these stories on the move, confusing literary genres along with the indeterminacy of physical shape that they relate. Beastly Journeys will appeal to anyone interested in the relationship between nineteenth-century literature and its contexts and especially to those interested in the fin de siècle and in metaphors of travel, animals and shape-changing English Geschichte 1880-1900 gnd rswk-swf Animals in literature English literature LITERARY CRITICISM Comparative Literature Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 Literary studies: general Literature and literary studies Literature and society Literature: history and criticism Shapeshifting Travel in literature English literature 19th century History and criticism Literature and society Great Britain History 19th century Reise Motiv (DE-588)4115736-9 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Metamorphose Motiv (DE-588)4169647-5 gnd rswk-swf Tiere Motiv (DE-588)4185464-0 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf literature modern history 1800-1899 Great Britain Electronic books Criticism, interpretation, etc History Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Reise Motiv (DE-588)4115736-9 s Tiere Motiv (DE-588)4185464-0 s Metamorphose Motiv (DE-588)4169647-5 s Geschichte 1880-1900 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Beastly journeys Liverpool : Liverpool University Press, 2013 9781846319587 https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=656392 Verlag kostenfrei Volltext data file This work is licensed by Knowledge Unlatched under a Creative Commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 |
