Download and read online ebook Victorian Conversion Narratives and Reading Communities write by Emily Walker Heady. This book was released on 2016-03-03. Victorian Conversion Narratives and Reading Communities available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Because Victorian authors rarely discuss conversion experiences separately from the modes in which they are narrated, Emily Walker Heady argues that the conversion narrative became, in effect, a form of literary criticism. Literary conventions, in turn, served the reciprocal function as a means of discussing the nature of what Heady calls the 'heart-change.' Heady reads canonical authors such as John Henry Newman, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, and Oscar Wilde through a dual lens of literary history and post-liberal theology. As Heady shows, these authors question the ability of realism to contain the emotionally freighted and often jarring plot lines that characterize conversion. In so doing, they explore the limits of narrative form while also shedding light on the ways in which conversion narratives address and often disrupt the reading communities in which they occur.

This book was released on . Europa Sun Issue 5 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Europa Sun's fifth issue is here! Every issue seems to have its own feel and slight theme, and this issue is no different. This issue is slightly more literary than usual, with articles on William Butler Yeats (Irish patriotic poet), Homer's Iliad, Victorian writing conventions, and the work of the Brothers Grimm. Additionally, this turned out to be quite the German issue! In addition to the Grimm Brothers, articles discuss the famous ancient Germanic tribal hero Arminius and his famous Battle of Teutoburg Forest, and the medieval German mystic, Hildegard of Bingen. In addition to the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, fans of military history will enjoy reading about the 100 Years' War and a wonderful discussion about the history of the firearm in the West. An image spread exploring the Georgian Cross as a chivalric symbol used by nobility in dueling rounds out this issue with a bit of a military history theme as well. As always, there is a variety of topics from Western cultural heritage explored, and includes a lovely poetry spread featuring many of our previous writers. The issue is richly illustrated in beautiful full color throughout.
Forgiveness in Victorian Literature

Download and read online ebook Forgiveness in Victorian Literature write by Richard Hughes Gibson. This book was released on 2015-01-29. Forgiveness in Victorian Literature available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Forgiveness was a preoccupation of writers in the Victorian period, bridging literatures highbrow and low, sacred and secular. Yet if forgiveness represented a common value and language, literary scholarship has often ignored the diverse meanings and practices behind this apparently uncomplicated value in the Victorian period. Forgiveness in Victorian Literature examines how eminent writers such as Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Oscar Wilde wrestled with the religious and social meanings of forgiveness in an age of theological controversy and increasing pluralism in ethical matters. Richard Gibson discovers unorthodox uses of the language of forgiveness and delicate negotiations between rival ethical and religious frameworks, which complicated forgiveness's traditional powers to create or restore community and, within narratives, offered resolution and closure. Illuminated by contemporary philosophical and theological investigations of forgiveness, this study also suggests that Victorian literature offers new perspectives on the ongoing debate about the possibility and potency of forgiving.
