• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Vision and Character: Physiognomics and the English Realist Novel offers a study into the physiognomics and aesthetics of 19th and 20th Century English Realist Novels as presented by some of the best known authors in this genre, like Virginia Woolf, Joseph Conrad, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. In this highly original approach to the issues of representation, visuality and aesthetics in the nineteenth-century realist novel, and even the question of literary interpretation, Eike Kronshage argues that physiognomics has enabled writers to access their characters' inner lives without interfering in an authoritative way.
