FrankLondon :Routledge,2016.1 online resource (258 p.)First published 2010 by Ashgate Publishing.1-138-26055-X 1-4094-0014-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Part I: Writing the will. Writing the will: Victorian testators and legal culture; Writing the novel: Victorian testators and literary culture -- Part II: Proving the will. Victorian daughters and the burden of inheritance; Edwardian sons and the burden of inheritance redux -- Part III: Contesting the will. Broken trusts: cy près, fiction, and the limits of intention; Fictions of justice: testamentary intention and the illegitimate heir.Focusing on the rhetoric of the last will and testament, Cathrine O. Frank examines novels alongside actual wills, legal manuals, case law, and contemporary accounts of wills in periodicals. Her analysis of works by such authors as Emily Brontë, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and John Galsworthy shows how these related discourses competed to structure a social order based on the self-determining individual's relationship to a community and its commodified culture.English fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismLaw and literatureGreat BritainHistoryWillsGreat BritainHistoryWills in literatureInheritance and succession in literatureInheritance and successionGreat BritainHistoryEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.English fictionHistory and criticism.Law and literatureHistory.WillsHistory.Wills in literature.Inheritance and succession in literature.Inheritance and successionHistory.823/.8093554Frank Cathrine O.1708334MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815033503321Law, literature, and the transmission of culture in England, 1837-19254097249UNINA
