  • Subjectivitiesby Regenia Gagnier

    Oxford University Press 1991; US$ 125.00

    This comparative analysis draws on working-class autobiography, public and boarding school memoirs, and the canonical autobiographies by women and men in the United Kingdom to define subjectivity and value within social class and gender in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain. Gagnier reconsiders traditional distinctions between mind and body, private desire and public good, aesthetics and utility, and fact and value in the context of everyday life.  more...

  • Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Criticby Jason Camlot

    Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2008; US$ 99.95

    In analyzing the nonfiction works of writers such as John Wilson, J. S. Mill, De Quincy, Ruskin, Arnold, Pater, and Wilde, Jason Camlot provides an important context for the nineteenth-century critics' changing ideas about style, rhetoric, and technologies of communication. In particular, Camlot shows how new print media affected the Romantic and Victorian critic's sense of self, and how the figure of the professional critic soon subsumed the authority of the polyglot intellectual. more...
