Focusing on novels by Thomas Hardy, Sarah Grand, Olive Schreiner, Oscar Wilde, and Henry James, Larson explores the conjunction of ethics and fin-de-sie?cle 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. 517 3 $aEthics & Narrative in the English Novel, 1880-1914 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEthics in literature 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDidactic fiction, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEthics in literature. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDidactic fiction, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory 676 $a823/.809353 700 $aLarson$b Jil$0686724 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779922403321 996 $aEthics and narrative in the English novel, 1880-1914$91271446 997 $aUNINA
