Book Description
An unmarried woman in her late thirties, Diana May finds herself considered useless--and worse still, "in the way"--in a society seemingly enamoured of only youth and beauty. After pretending to drown herself, she answers an advertisement and becomes the subject of a dangerous experiment that successfully restores her youthful vitality; but her personality is fundamentally altered in the process.
Popular Fiction and Brain Science in the Late Nineteenth Century
Author : Anne Stiles

Category : Literary Criticism
ISBN : 1139504908
Book Description
In the 1860s and 1870s, leading neurologists used animal experimentation to establish that discrete sections of the brain regulate specific mental and physical functions. These discoveries had immediate medical benefits: David Ferrier's detailed cortical maps, for example, saved lives by helping surgeons locate brain tumors and haemorrhages without first opening up the skull. These experiments both incited controversy and stimulated creative thought, because they challenged the possibility of an extra-corporeal soul. This book examines the cultural impact of neurological experiments on late-Victorian Gothic romances by Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, H. G. Wells and others. Novels like Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde expressed the deep-seated fears and visionary possibilities suggested by cerebral localization research, and offered a corrective to the linearity and objectivity of late Victorian neurology.

Reinventing Marie Corelli for the Twenty-First Century

Release : 2019-04-30
Category : Literary Criticism
ISBN : 178308944X
Book Description
With the purpose of introducing Marie Corelli to a new generation of readers and of reconsidering her works for generations familiar with them, Reinventing Marie Corelli for the Twenty-First Century demonstrates how provocative the author was as a public figure and how controversial and paradoxical were the views about womanhood and the supernatural pitched in her novels. This collection of original essays focuses on three major battles that engaged Corelli: her personal and public contentions, her mercurial constructions of gender and resistance to the New Woman modality and her untenable reconciliation of science with the supernatural. Corelli was often fighting several fronts at the same time; she rarely was not at war with someone including herself.
