She seemed a fresh, buoyant creature, with the radiance of love in her face, and hope playing like a benediction round her head. She was gazing with her large blue eyes across sunlit fields to the little farm on the heights; a soft smile played about her lips. Then suddenly she changed into Sarah Coverdale: the bright face grew drawn and haggard, the smile vanished, the lips seemed thin and tight; she was dressed in a counterpane, emblazoned with red and yellow texts. Her gaze continued to be directed towards Braisted; but now it was over cold wastes of twilight, broad and still, and her eyes were dim and expressionless. They were not sad, but the dreamer, as they met her glance, moaned in her sleep. Next morning Margaret Ellwood took her easel to a ruined cottage in one of the fields; but she sat doing nothing, or idly sketching, for over an hour. It was seldom that she felt undecided, but this problem fairly puzzled her. The old creeds were certainly the simpler: one could so easily follow a fixed rule, and let the consequences of one's act look after themselves. That the act should be righteous was the important point. But to care only for results, and not for righteousness; that was trying indeed, when the question resolved itself into: "Who is to be the sufferer? Why should this or that one be selected for the post of honor?" Some strange freak of Fate had placed the power in her hands, and it was her cruel task to select the victim. If she decided to use her influence, Dick would assuredly do exactly as she desired; this was almost a certainty. Bessie's fate lay at the mercy of a woman of whose very...

Download or read book Railway Reading and Late Victorian Literary Series written by Paul Raphael Rooney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The railway was one of the principal Victorian spaces of reading. This book spotlights one of the leading audience demographics in this late-Victorian market: the newly empowered readers of the expanding middle class. The transactions in which late-Victorian readers acquired the books read whilst travelling are reconstructed by exploring the leading determinants of consumers’ purchasing choices at the railway station bookstalls selling books intended for reading in this zone. This exploration concentrates on the impact of forces like the input of the staff running the bookstalls and the commercial environment in which consumers made their purchases. At the center of this study is a leading (and still relatively under-examined) genre of Victorian print culture circulating in this reading space― the series. Rooney examines three leading examples of late-Victorian series, which sought to satisfy railway passengers’ need for literary reading matter. Many of the period’s principal authors and literary genres featured in their lists. Each venture is representative of one of the three main pricing tiers of series publishing. Employing an eclectic methodological framework combining cultural studies and book history approaches with concepts from the new humanities, the reading experiences furnished by the light fiction of these series are reconstructed. This study reflects the recent growth in scholarship on historical readership, the expansion in the canon of Victorian popular literature, and the broader material turn in nineteenth-century studies.

This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part I of this authoritative handbook offers systematic essays, which deal with major historical, social, philosophical, political, cultural and aesthetic contexts of the English novel between 1830 and 1900. The essays offer a wide scope of aspects such as the Industrial Revolution, religion and secularisation, science, technology, medicine, evolution or the increasing mediatisation of the lifeworld.

They also encourage further research as they look upon the work of the respective authors at issue from the perspectives of cultural and literary theory.
