| Zusammenfassung: | George Levine is one of the world's leading scholars of Victorian literature and culture. This collection of his essays develops the key themes of his work: the intersection of nineteenth-century British literature, culture and science and the relation of knowledge and truth to ethics. The essays offer perspectives on George Eliot, Thackeray, the Positivists, and the Scientific Naturalists, and reassess the complex relationship between Ruskin and Darwin. In readings of Lawrence and Coetzee, Levine addresses Victorian and modern efforts to push beyond the limits of realist art by testing its aesthetic and epistemological limits in engagement with the self and the other. Some of Levine's most important contributions to the field are reprinted, in revised and updated form, alongside previously unpublished material. Together, these essays cohere into an exploration both of Victorian literature and culture and of ethical, epistemological, and aesthetic problems fundamental to our own times |

This collection of his essays develops the key themes of his work: the intersection of nineteenth-century British literature, culture and science and the relation of knowledge and truth to ethics. The essays offer perspectives on George Eliot, Thackeray, the Positivists, and the Scientific Naturalists, and reassess the complex relationship between Ruskin and Darwin. In readings of Lawrence and Coetzee, Levine addresses Victorian and modern efforts to push beyond the limits of realist art by testing its aesthetic and epistemological limits in engagement with the self and the other. Some of Levine's most important contributions to the field are reprinted, in revised and updated form, alongside previously unpublished material. Together, these essays cohere into an exploration both of Victorian literature and culture and of ethical, epistemological, and aesthetic problems fundamental to our own times Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1832-1902 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte English literature / 19th century / History and criticism Literature and science / Great Britain / History / 19th century Ethics / Great Britain / History / 19th century Knowledge, Theory of, in literature Science in literature Realism in literature Secularism in literature Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Naturwissenschaften Motiv (DE-588)4120791-9 gnd rswk-swf Atheismus Motiv (DE-588)4473467-0 gnd rswk-swf Darwinismus Motiv (DE-588)4525180-0 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Great Britain / Intellectual life / 19th century 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Darwinismus Motiv (DE-588)4525180-0 s Geschichte 1832-1902 z 2\p DE-604 Naturwissenschaften Motiv (DE-588)4120791-9 s 3\p DE-604 Atheismus Motiv (DE-588)4473467-0 s 4\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-34949-9 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-88526-3 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511484872 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
