British Novels and Romanticism: Ideological Conflict, Compromise and Packaging

About This Novel

This book studies the major novels of the British Romantic period and a group of Romantic novels that emerged in the subsequent Victorian period. The authors involved include Godwin, Austen, Mary Shelley, Scott, the Brontë sisters, Stevenson and Stoker. In addition to their romantic color or romantic cultural background, these works also have a common feature, that is, most of their protagonists have experienced intriguing status exchanges or fate reversals. Is there some connection between the two shared characteristics? This is one of the central questions that runs through the analysis of specific works in this book. Mutations in the status and role of characters in novels are not uncommon in literary works in periods of social change. This phenomenon often reflects the changes in the mainstream ideology of society, or the incompatible values ​​​​are so closely matched that it is difficult to distinguish between superior and superior. At the creative level, this plot arrangement opens up a rare space for the novel author, allowing him to express certain ideas and values ​​that are difficult to tolerate in the times under unfavorable political and cultural conditions.
