A Plenitude of Prefixes: Delineating the Boundaries of Neo-, Retro-, Faux- and Post-Victorian Literature

Opis:
The category of contemporary fiction looking back to nineteenth-century British history is adorned with various prefixes, among them neo-Victorian, retro-Victorian, faux-Victorian and post-Victorian. The problem of naming is a common one when attempts are made to describe and define a new phenomenon. After about a decade of debate, the prefix ‛neo’ is the one chosen most often. Nevertheless, it is quite often used interchangeably with the others. Evidently then the boundaries between these terms are at best blurry. In fact they are often treated as synonyms, even though the scope of the concepts to which they are applied often differs. It seems, however, that all these terms could be put to good use if their individual definitions were specified and agreed upon. I would therefore like to postulate a disambiguation of the four terms mentioned above.
Kategoria współczesnej fikcji, cofając się do XIX-wiecznej historii brytyjskiej bogata jest w różne przedrostki, wśród nich neo-wiktoriański, retro-wiktoriański, faux-i post-wiktoriański. Problem terminologii jest podstawowym, gdy próbuje się opisać i zdefiniować nowe zjawisko. Po około dziesięcioletniej debacie, przedrostek "neo" zdaje się być wybieranym najczęściej. Niemniej jednak, jest on często stosowany wymiennie z innymi. Widoczne jest zatem, że granice pomiędzy tymi warunkami są w najlepszym razie rozmyte. W rzeczywistości częstokroć traktuje się je jako synonimy, chociaż zakres problemowy, do którego są stosowane zazwyczaj jest zróżnicowany. Wydaje się jednak, że wszystkie te terminy mogą być odpowiednio wykorzystane, jeśli ich poszczególne definicje zostaną określone i uzgodnione. W tym artykule proponuję ujednoznacznienie czterech wymienionych powyżej kategorii

Opis:
When Bruno Latour says that “we have never been modern,” he means only to recognize that the ‘actually living’ of modernity (or the temporal duration we’ve often categorized as ‘modernity’) is something altogether different (and far more complicated) than the theoretical apparatus by which academic intellectuals use to describe and categorize it. The modern condition, then, involves a separation between the socio-economic creation of ‘hybrid objects’ and theoretical reflection on society. This reflection takes the form of ‘purification,’ or a clear distinction between nature and culture, science and politics. Drawing upon Charles Dickens’ last completed novel, Our Mutual Friend, as well as Marx, I will argue that already in Victorian England we can find coherent representations of modernity that defy Latour’s high standard of actualized purification (or a visible ‘reality’ that conforms to our purified categorizations). That is, in Dickens and Marx we can find a literary-economic discourse of ‘modernity’ (which may also be Victorian post-humanism) that already recognized the failure of ‘purification’ as the result of expansive capitalism.

Opis:
The nineteenth century was an age of reason and industrialization. Magic and mythical creatures ceased to exist for the rational minds of the time. Yet, despite the intellectual hostility to magic and mysticism, their sway over popular culture and the literary world remained undisturbed. Magic even found other ways to return. One of these is stage magic. In the 1840s, the stage magician John Henry Anderson dazzled the audiences in London with his performances so much so that Sir Walter Scott called him the Great Wizard of the North (referring to his Scottish origins). In A Christmas Carol, Dickens adds vivacity to his narrative through the use of narrative theatrics that can be described as pertaining to stage magic. In the novella, a ludicrous form of white magic transforms the main character. The other characters are baffled by the inexplicable change in his behaviors. The transformation seems magical even to them. While hidden from their eyes, Scrooge receives four strange night visitors who reform him through a series of visions. When he finally returns to the “real” world, Scrooge is a different person. What takes place in the novella can in many respects be compared to the tricks used in stage magic (where an item is hidden from the sight of the spectators only to reappear in a different form). The use of magic in the novella, therefore, goes beyond the story. Indeed, a “magical” sleight of mind structures the very narrative of A Christmas Carol. This paper seeks to trace the influence of the idea of magic on the narrative structure and techniques of Dickens’ novella. It argues that, in many respects, the narrator can be described as a magician performing tricks on characters and readers alike.

Opis:
From the perspective of feminist analysis, the painting is considered to be androcentric. It is believed that artworks were created by men, for men and from their point of view. One can even say that, men spoker through the bodies and identities of heroine images in the painting. From this point of view, painting has been accused not only of the lack of women as authors of works of art, but also of the lack of representations of the female experience. Logically, from this perspective, images of women on the canvas are often not simple reflection of reality, but they crystallize dreams, anxieties and feelings of their male artists. There is no doubt that theye are also imbued with ideologies concerning gender. Three images that will be examined in this paper were created in the Victorian era (the dates of their creation are: 1887, 1890, 1896). They all reflect anxieties about womanhood in the late nineteenth century, primarily manifested in the creation of a new image of a woman - the femme fatale. On the other hand the women as objects of the painting are treated as a sexual object for male creator and viewer. Every woman in the paintings could be described as "being out of control". There is a paradox here: the woman is simultanesly out of control and controlled by men. There is a worth to add that every painting has extremely sugestive impact on the viewer and amazing articstic value.

Punch and Judy is a traditional form of puppet theatre widely known in the United Kingdom and certain other English-speaking countries. As part of the national culture for over 350 years it has featured in numerous works of art, particularly in literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Being generally less well-known beyond Britain, it may be problematic for readers encountering references to the show in English literature, such as the works of Dickens and Conrad. This paper provides an overview of the show, a short history and a description of certain aspects of historical and social change within the tradition.

The Withered Arm is a story by Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), who was a famous and important British architect – poet-novelist and a social reformer. The Withered Arm is “ a Gothic ghost story”, and Hardy claimed that it was based on a real story. The story illustrates the two trends during Victorian England: the old superstitious beliefs, dreams and visions, versus the modern scientific-based science and medicine, and the remarkable victory of the psyche over the soma. Discussion on the differential diagnosis of that hand paralysis, is given along with disabilities which appear in books of other Victorians and 19th century authors.

Opis:
The Victorians openly expressed their deep fascination with the study of mind which was reflected in the rise of the nineteenth century “Psychological School of Poetry”. One of the authors who was captivated by the question of mental disorders was Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Despite the extensive research on his poetry, “Mariana” tends to be overlooked and reduced to a mere depiction of unbearable loneliness. However, this study focuses on the way how Tennyson, by using different modes of poetical representation such as visual, auditory, and temporal, indirectly portrays a degradation of the protagonist’s psyche, thus showing that the mental state can be expressed by the external images of a surrounding landscape, not character’s subjective perception. By the close reading of the poem as well as comparing the description of psychological disintegration with another well-known heroine of the Victorian era Miss Havisham from Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations, one may conclude that the conveyed imagery of decay and blight mirrors the gradual psychological downfall of the female character. Contrary to Harold Bloom’s reading of the poem, I will argue that Mariana’s tragedy lies precisely in her retreat from the external world and dwelling in the vicious circle of her predicament which reinforces the character’s masochistic coping mechanisms. Above all, the power of the poem lies not in the immediate shock and disgust, but in evoking a sense of moroseness that slowly kills the protagonist.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to examine the relations within an upper middleclassfamily – as depicted by Virginia Woolf in a collection of autobiographical essays, Moments ofBeing – and compare these against the patriarchal model. The ultimate aim is to expose and locate,as early as the last decade of the Victorian era, the signs that a transformation was about to occur. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The Victorian paradigm of the patriarchal rolesof pater familias and mater familias has been analyzed. In conformity with philological methods,appropriate literary evidence is provided. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The article first focuses on the concept of the Victorianpater familias and mater familias. It presents an analysis of the Stephens family who feature in Momentsof Being. A traditionally conservative perspective with regard to the male family members isjuxtaposed with the contrasting viewpoint voiced by the author of the collection. RESEARCH RESULTS: The analysis of the autobiographical essays reveals certain shifts in theroles of the Victorian pater familias and mater familias in late-Victorian times. Furthermore, certainrifts in familial relations are uncovered and investigated with reference to differing attitudes to theissue of female education. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The analysis exposed severalfissures in the patriarchal model and located these at an earlier date than commonly accepted. Italso demonstrated that the first signs of the transformations that would occur in British society wereparticularly noticeable in the novel attitudes to the question of female education. This may encouragefurther research of contemporary perspectives on institutional instruction.

For Queen Victoria and Prince Albert the proper education of their eldest son, and the future king of England, was of paramount importance. Their most important advisor in this matter was Baron Stockmar, who believed in strict control of every moment in the boy’s life. The article examines available documentary sources dealing with the theory of the prince’s education as presented mainly in Queen Victoria’s, Prince Albert’s and Stockmar’s memoirs, as well as the way this theory was translated into practice by the Prince’s tutors and teachers. The main documentary sources here are the official reports and private diaries of Lady Lyttelton, Henry Birch and Frederick Gibbs. All in all, to the great disappointment of the Prince’s parents, the educational theory promoted by Stockmar proved to be a complete failure.

Opis:
The article analyzes varying approaches to intertextuality in the light of the recurring interest in neo-Victorian literature. It places a special emphasis on Mikhail Bakhtin’s dialogism and Gérard Genette’s treatment of intertextuality, which appear to constitute suitable tools for studying the relations between the Victorian and neo-Victorian texts. Essentially, Genette’s intertextual perspective offers a stable classification of texts based on the notion of “architextual network” and, at the same time, is not confined to a “closed system”. While discussing the issue of intertextuality, I also briefly introduce the work done by such Polish scholars as: Michał Głowiński, Ryszard Nycz or Henryk Markiewicz. I especially draw on Nycz’s division of intertextual relations: “text–text”, “text–genre” and “text–reality”. Nycz’s theoretical proposal seems to be appropriate for the study of the Victorian and neo-Victorian novel, as intertextuality in the neo-Victorian texts can be found not only on the textual, but also on the generic and cultural level. It seems that neo-Victorian fiction deserves a special place in modern literary studies: not only does it offer a literary vision of the Victorian world, but also verifies the current, socio-cultural portrayals of this bygone era, thus, providing a commentary on our present-day world as well.
Celem artykułu jest omówienie podejścia do intertekstualności w świetle zainteresowania literaturą neowiktoriańską. Szczególna uwaga poświęcona zostaje pojęciu dialogiczności Michaiła Bachtina oraz teorii intertekstualności Gérarda Genette’a, która wydaje się najbardziej odpowiednim narzędziem do studiowania relacji między tekstami wiktoriańskimi i neowiktoriańskimi, oferując stabilną klasyfikację tekstów opartą na pojęciu „architekstualnej sieci” i nie ograniczając jej do „zamkniętego systemu”. Omawiając zagadnienie intertekstualności, zwracam również uwagę na wkład polskich naukowców, takich jak: Michał Głowiński, Ryszard Nycz czy Henryk Markiewicz. Wśród polskich badań nad intertekstualnością szczególnie wyróżniam teorię Ryszarda Nycza, która skupia się na trzech relacjach: „tekst–tekst”, „tekst–gatunek” oraz „tekst–rzeczywistość”. Propozycja Nycza wydaje się najwłaściwsza w studiuowaniu powieści wiktoriańskich i neowiktoriańskich, jako że umożliwia ich analizę nie tylko na poziomie tekstowym, ale również gatunkowym i kulturowym. Wydaje się, iż literatura neowiktoriańska zdecydowanie zasługuje na zainteresowanie współczesnych studiów literackich, jako że nie tylko ukazuje literacką wizję wiktoriańskiego świata, lecz weryfikuje także obecne społeczno-kulturowe obrazowanie tejże przeszłości, oferując tym samym komentarz dotyczący współczesności.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the dominant ideal of beauty in the Victorian period. The author defi nes mechanisms of repression and symbolic violence over the body of the Victorian upper-class woman, connected with the phenomenon of social control over the woman’s body and identity. The author assumes that the desire to achieve physical beauty has always been a source of a biographical experience that was constitutive for a woman, a source of a separate identity for her in comparison with a man. The historical changes of the ideals of the beautiful body are expressive of the complex interactions between the social roles of women and the dominant ideology of femininity as well as scientifi c and medical knowledge.

The functioning of today’s universities has been influenced by centuries of changing educational concepts. The aim of the article is to describe and examine one of them – the concept of university education by John Henry Newman, which was created in the second half of the 19th century. Newman described his educational ideal, which he wanted to put into practice while being rector of the Catholic University of Ireland in Dublin. He stated that the function of the university must be broad, it should include both practical studying and learning universal knowledge as well as the comprehensive development of students. Newman built this concept on the basis of personal beliefs, his Christian faith and ties with the Catholic and Anglican churches and experiences from studying at the University of Oxford. The article analyses the works of Newman and explores the foundations of his educational concept.

The article discusses the 2015 adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s 1874 novel Far from the Madding Crowd in the context of earlier adaptations of Hardy’s texts.It focuses on the modifications introduced in the adaptation process, especially those concerning the female protagonist, Bathsheba Everdeen, aimed at making her more “modern” and balancing her independence,unusual for the 19th century, with the adaptors’ urge to make her the heroine of a romantic love story, which in Thomas Vinterberg’s film surprisingly comes to the foreground.
 Artykuł stanowi omówienie najnowszej adaptacji filmowej powieści Z dala od zgiełku Thomasa Hardy’ego, wydanej w 1874 r., w kontekście wcześniejszych adaptacji filmowych powieści tego autora. Przedmiotem analizy są przede wszystkim modyfikacje wprowadzone w procesie adaptacji, a w szczególności te, które dotyczą postaci głównej bohaterki. W filmie z 2015 r., do którego scenariusz napisał David Nicholls, a który wyreżyserował Thomas Vinterberg, postać Bathsheby Everdeen uwspółcześniono, tak by była ona bardziej wiarygodną i ciekawszą dla współczesnego odbiorcy, a fabułę filmu skonstruowano w taki sposób, by bez modyfikacji głównych wydarzeń jej motywem przewodnim stała się historia miłosna, która w powieściHardy’ego (tudzież we wcześniejszych jej adaptacjach) nie jest tak oczywista. Artykuł omawia sposoby, w jaki cele te osiągnięto.

Opis:
Haunting in literary fiction is often interpreted psychologically as a sign of suppressed psychic content or as nostalgia or mourning for the loss. Yet, it may also be used allegorically as a manifestation of hidden social conflicts, and hence mark a political agenda of thus constructed works. In the novels by Sarah Waters spectres, poltergeists and haunting appear not as a sign of or a contact with an outer reality; to the contrary, they may be seen as perfectly human-though eccentric-expressions of class and economic inferiority. In Affinity spectres and spiritual séances are presented as a means of earning money by lower classes and the latter’s cunning use of the upper classes’ credulity. In The Little Stranger the poltergeist may be interpreted as an accumulated anger and desire of the servants long ignored by the masters of the emblematic country house. In both, haunting and ghosts manifest vengeance of the underprivileged taken on the socially superior. The essay shows how fictional haunting and spectrality, far from marking a supernatural reality or introducing extrasensory concepts, may function as an allegorical method to discuss political and social problems such as class inequality or social justice.

Opis:
In the present article I intend to explore chosen images of nature in selected poetical works by William Blake, William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alfred Tennyson and Matthew Arnold, in order to trace significant shifts in their use of natural imagery. While in Romantic poetry, in general, images from nature are used to portray spiritual experience of finding comfort and sustenance in communing with nature, or, alternatively, a sense of being overwhelmed in the face of an omnipotent power, Victorian poems register deep uneasiness and a fear of nature, which has nothing to do with the experience of the sublime. This shift can be attributed, at least in part, to ground-breaking scientific discoveries and overwhelming technological progress in Victorian England, which resulted in confusion and disquiet as far as basic existential issues (the existence of God, the relation between God and man, the origin of the universe) were concerned.
