    Beautiful Boredom: Idleness and Feminine Self-Realization in the Victorian Novel

    Beautiful Boredom: Idleness and Feminine Self-Realization in the Victorian Novel By Maynard, Lee Anna
    2009 | 199 Pages | ISBN: 0786445556 | PDF | 1 MB


    This volume explores boredom as a possible force for good in the Victorian novel. In Charlotte Bronte'sJane Eyre(1847), George Eliot'sMiddlemarch(1871-72), and Henry James'sThe Portrait of a Lady(1881), boredom is an important means through which female characters are able to achieve a greater sense of self-awareness. In her discussion of these works, the author examines both the deleterious and restorative aspects of boredom and shows how this subtle theme has continued to be used by more modern authors.
