Women's Literary Portraits in the Victorian and Neo-Victorian Novel
is a dialogical and intertextual journey through the pages of
nineteenth-century novels and their modern, revisionary
counterparts. It is the book not only dedicated to the readers
associated with academia, but also to all literature enthusiasts,
students of literature, and those readers who are fascinated by the
Victorian novel, as well as by its current neo-Victorian revival.
The focus of this work revolves around the literary portrayals of
Victorian and neo-Victorian women who, as the authoress believes,
are located in the centre of socio-cultural and historical
narratives shaping both the past and the present.
Nineteenth-century narratives concerning women's placement and
status in the Victorian social landscape are currently revived on
the pages of neo-Victorian novels, thus attesting to the unceasing
interest in the bygone. While neo-Victorian revisionary fiction
endows nineteenth-century women with a redemptive potential, it
also exposes modern paradoxes and ambiguities connected with
universal expectations towards women, what further approximates our
contemporaneity to the Victorian past. While examining these
socio-cultural ambivalences, the authoress celebrates Victorian and
neo-Victorian women characters in their attempts to thrive as
individuals. Consequently, the book studies Victorian and
neo-Victorian women characters in relation to their identities,
unique voices and textual garments.
