Book Synopsis Beauty and Belief by : Hilary Fraser
Download or read book Beauty and Belief written by Hilary Fraser. This book was released on 2008-09-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an important contribution to the intellectual history of Victorian England which examines the religio-aesthetic theories of some central writers of the time. Dr Fraser begins with a discussion of the aesthetic dimensions of Tractarian theology and then proceeds to the orthodox certainties of Hopkins' theory of inscape, Ruskin's and Arnold's moralistic criticism of literature and the visual arts, and Pater's and Wilde's faith in a religion of art. The author identifies significant cultural and historical conditions which determined the interdependence of aesthetic and religious sensibility in the period. She argues that certain tensions in the thought of Wordsworth and Coleridge - tensions between poetry and religion, rebellion and reaction, individualism and authority - continued to manifest themselves throughout the Victorian age, and as society became increasingly democratic, religion in turn became increasingly personal and secular.

Book Synopsis Towards an Aisthetics of the Victorian Novel by : Nadine Boehm-Schnitker
Download or read book Towards an Aisthetics of the Victorian Novel written by Nadine Boehm-Schnitker. This book was released on 2023-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Towards an Aisthetics of the Victorian Novel: Senses and Sensations establishes a new analytical method in the broader context of sensory studies in order to explain how the genre of the novel can impact on our perception of ourselves and our social contexts. Taking cultural literary studies ahead, the book re-integrates aesthetics - a much fraught concept in cultural studies that long favoured 'popular' over 'high culture' - into cultural studies as aisthetics in the word's root sense of 'perception'. Zooming in on period shifts and changes in taste spanning realism, sensation fiction and aestheticism, aisthetics reveals how these shifts also pertain to new ways of perceiving in selected novels by George Eliot, Wilkie Collins and Vernon Lee. Connecting Victorian and current literary theories, aisthetics helps explore the way in which the novel can shape the way we perceive the world, what remains excluded from the realm of the perceivable and how our conduct is consequently always also influenced by the dominant genres of our time"--
