Focusing on novels by Thomas Hardy, Sarah Grand, Olive Schreiner, Oscar Wilde, and Henry James, Larson explores the conjunction of ethics and fin-de-siècle history and culture through a consideration of what narratives from this period tell us about emotion, reason, and gender, aestheticism, and such speech acts as promising and lying. This book will be of interest to scholars of nineteenth century and modernism, and all interested in the conjunction between narrative, ethics and literary theory.Ethics & Narrative in the English Novel, 1880-1914English fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismEthics in literatureEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismDidactic fiction, EnglishHistory and criticismNarration (Rhetoric)History19th centuryNarration (Rhetoric)History20th centuryEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Ethics in literature.English fictionHistory and criticism.Didactic fiction, EnglishHistory and criticism.Narration (Rhetoric)HistoryNarration (Rhetoric)History823/.809353Larson Jil686724UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910454835103321Ethics and narrative in the English novel, 1880-19141271446UNINA
