Byronic Heroes in Nineteenth-Century Women's Writing and Screen
Adaptation charts a new chapter in the changing fortunes of a
unique cultural phenomenon. This book examines the afterlives of
the Byronic hero through the work of nineteenth-century women
writers and screen adaptations of their fiction. It is a timely
reassessment of Byron's enduring legacy during the nineteenth
century and beyond, focusing on the charged and unstable literary
dialogues between Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot and
a Romantic icon whose presence takes centre stage in recent screen
adaptations of their most celebrated novels. The broad
interdisciplinary lens employed in this book concentrates on the
conflicted rewritings of Byron's poetry, his 'heroic' protagonists,
and the cult of Byronism in nineteenth-century novels from Pride
and Prejudice to Middlemarch, and extends outwards to the
reappearance of Byronic heroes on film and in television series
over the last two decades.
