A Study of Historical Narratives in Neo-victorian Novels
by Du Lili
About This Novel
Neo-Victorian novels refer to the postmodern historical novels that emerged in the 1960s with the historical turn of contemporary British novels, with the Victorian period as the background and reconstruction object. Based on the conceptual definition and characteristics of neo-Victorian novels, this book explores the historical imagination and narrative reconstruction of the Victorian period by contemporary writers from three levels: metahistorical romance narrative mode, spatialized narrative time, and polyphonic narrative voice. The spatiality and hybridity in the narrative form of the neo-Victorian novel, the contradiction and uncertainty in the ideology, and the grotesqueness of ghost writing in the aesthetic style make it the most representative literary style of British postmodernism.
