Internal Conflict in Nineteenth-century Literature: Reading the Jungian Shadow” examines the genealogy of the Jungian shadow in Romantic and post-Romantic literature. Ştefan Bolea analyzes the way the crisis of identity in nineteenth-century literature prefigures our contemporary “inner discord” by means of the philosophy of literature, combining literary criticism with psychoanalytical phenomenology. This book provides a deep analysis of the connection between this “inner discord” and the century that brought us industrialization, nationalism, modernity, and the unconscious by comparing Jung’s theory of the shadow with Nietzche’s and Cioran’s versions of Antihumanism in a highly interdisciplinary landscape. Scholars of psychology, philosophy, literature, media studies, and history will find this book particularly useful.
"We think of the nineteenth century as an active age - the age of colonial expansion, revolutions, and railroads, of great exploration and the Great Exhibition. But in reading the works of Romantic and Victorian writers one notices a conflict, what Stefanie Markovits terms "a crisis of action." In her book, The Crisis of Action in Nineteenth-Century English Literature, Markovits maps out this conflict by focusing on four writers: William Wordsworth, Arthur Hugh Clough, George Eliot, and Henry James. Each chapter offers a "case-study" that demonstrates how specific historical contingencies - including reaction to the French Revolution, laissez-faire economic practices, changes in religious and scientific beliefs, and shifts in women's roles - made people in the period hypersensitive to the status of action and its literary co-relative, plot."--BOOK JACKET.

The American Revolution and the Civil War bracket roughly eight decades of formative change in a republic created in 1776 by a gesture that was both rhetorical and performative. The subsequent construction of U.S. national identity influenced virtually all art forms, especially prose fiction, until internal conflict disrupted the project of nation-building. This volume reassesses, in an authoritative way, the principal forms and features of the emerging American novel. It will include chapters on: the beginnings of the novel in the US; the novel and nation-building; the publishing industry; leading novelists of Antebellum America; eminent early American novels; cultural influences on the novel; and subgenres within the novel form during this period. This book is the first of the three proposed US volumes that will make up Oxford's ambitious new twelve-volume literary resource, The Oxford History of the Novel in English (OHONE), a venture being commissioned and administered on both sides of the Atlantic.

"Crime and Punishment," written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, is a monumental work in Russian literature and stands as one of the most significant novels in the psychological fiction genre. As a cornerstone among Dostoevsky's works, this novel explores profound themes of guilt, redemption, and the complex nature of human morality. The novel revolves around Rodion Raskolnikov, a penniless former student living in St. Petersburg, who conceives a theory that certain extraordinary individuals are above moral laws and have the right to commit acts that would otherwise be considered crimes. Driven by this belief, he murders a merciless pawnbroker, setting off a gripping tale of crime, morality, and existential torment. Following the crime, Raskolnikov is plunged into a mental labyrinth of guilt and paranoia. His intellectual justification for the murder clashes with his innate moral compass, causing an internal conflict that is central to the psychological drama of the novel. Dostoevsky's masterful depiction of Raskolnikov's internal turmoil provides a deep insight into the human psyche and the moral dilemmas that can torment it. This exploration of psychological complexity is a defining feature of modern existential literature. Alongside Raskolnikov's narrative, the novel presents an array of vivid characters, each grappling with their struggles and moral dilemmas. These character portraits enrich the novel's theme of moral ambiguity and social criticism, firmly placing the book in the tradition of 19th-century social narratives. The novel's setting in the grim and tumultuous streets of St. Petersburg further adds to the story's intensity, reflecting the characters' inner chaos. The city itself becomes a symbol of Raskolnikov's internal strife, contributing to the novel's status as a work of symbolic realism. "Crime and Punishment" delves into questions of law, ethics, and the human condition. Dostoevsky's profound exploration of psychological conflict, moral ambiguity, redemption, and the underlying humanity within us all ensures that this novel continues to resonate with readers, scholars, and philosophers alike. Its impact on literature and thought remains unparalleled, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the depths of human complexity.
Though Friedrich Schiller enjoyed prominent literary standing and great popularity in nineteenth century literary England, his influence has been largely neglected in recent scholarship on the period. First published in 2003, this book explores the substantial evidence of the importance of the playwright and philosopher’s thought to George Eliot’s novelistic art. It demonstrates the relationship between Schiller’s work and Eliot’s plotting of moral vision, the tensions in her work between realism and idealism, and her aesthetics. It also contends that the immense continental underpinnings of Eliot’s writing should lead us to resituate her beyond national boundaries, and view her as a major European, as well as English, writer. This book will be of interest to those studying 19th Century English and European literature.
