SAMPLE ANNOTATION

Stone, Donald D. The Romantic Impulse in Victorian Fiction. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1980.

This book seeks to trace out what it calls the “Romantic Impulse” in several Victorian writers. The chapter entitled “Elizabeth Gaskell, Wordsworth, and the Burden of Reality,” is particularly useful for this study. In it Stone argues that while many Victorian writers were inspired by Byron, others, such as Gaskell, turned to William Wordsworth for inspiration. Wordsworth, it is argued, is more palatable to the Evangelical Victorians, and especially to figures such as Elizabeth Gaskell. Donald Stone is the Emeritus Professor of the City University of New York, with a long publishing history in Victorian Era Literature. This book was published by Harvard University Press, a noted academic press. The work was published 37 years ago, and it may be interesting to see how scholars have reacted to the work in the intervening time period. For those interested in the intersection of religion and culture in Romantic and Victorian era literature this book is helpful. Specifically, for those interested in the appropriation and transformation of Wordsworthian tendencies in writers like Elizabeth Gaskell this would be a good source.
