Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, x, 218 pp, 10 ills. From the blurb - "This collection of essays, by two well-known critics of the novel, explores the ways in which a number of novelists - Sterne, Jane Austen, * Dickens, Thackeray, Trollope, James - have made the influence of literature on life their subject. The traditional task of the realist to imitate life takes on a further refinement when the novelist elects to imitate life imitating novels. Don Quixote, who set out on a quest to live a romance, is the ancestor of numbers of characters, like Elizabeth Bennet, Mrs Merdle, and Isabel Archer, who seek to invest their lives with aesthetic style. Juliet and Rowland McMaster show how the inevitable self-consciousness of the novelist who portrays characters acting according to literary precedent often manifests itself as an intense concern with the powers and failings of language. Words, as Sterne, Thackeray and Trollope are aware, may create their own structures that are independent of their intended use as pellucid expression. Tristram Shandy draws attention to 'tall, opake words,' which may be a barrier as often as a means to under- standing, and he weaves his doubts into the very fabric of his verbal communication with his reader. Trollope, in a concentrated study of a disintegrating marriage in He Knew He Was Right, shows similarly how his characters become entrapped in their own verbal structures ." Contents: Experience to expression in Tristram Shandy -- Pride and prejudice: acting by design -- Dickens and the horrific -- Dickens, the dandy, and the savage: a Victorian view of the romantic -- Great expectations -- Thackeray's things: time's local habitation -- The Pygmalion motif in The Newcomes -- An honourable emulation of the author of The Newcomes: James and Thackeray -- The portrait of Isabel Archer -- The turn of the screw -- The curse of words in He knew he was right.
