Intertextuality and Influence | A. S. Byatt | The painter Van Gogh
is a constant presence in this highly allusive novel, which takes Stephanie Potter, now Orton, through pregnancy and birth (while she tries to hold on to her former identity by reading... |
Intertextuality and Influence | May Crommelin | The title-page quotes William Wordsworth
. This fairly conventional romance, in which MC
has not yet begun to exploit her gift for local colour, uses its young heroine and narrator to look at the problems... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Mary Robinson | Her postscript to the volume invokes Wordsworth
as model (as, indeed, her title invokes the joint work of Wordsworth and Coleridge
). Her titles (like The Shepherd's Dog and The Poor, Singing Dame) copy... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Antonia Fraser | The title, which comes from a sonnet by William Wordsworth
, seems to relate less to its context there than to the general irony of the presumed quietness of nuns, who in this story have... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Alice Meynell | The forty poems date from the last five years before publication. Their styles are derivative. Song of the Day to the Night is reminiscent of Shelley
, Soeur Monique of Wordsworth
, An Unmarked Festival... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Elizabeth Jolley | The narrative voice (a Scottish one, apparently as a kind of joke) is complex and shifting, with irony fed by unstable reference to the central couple (now Muriel and Henry, now Mother and Father, and... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Elizabeth Barrett Browning | The title piece is a lyrical drama depicting, largely in the form of a conversation between two angels, the crucifixion of Christ. Among the accompanying pieces were several on literary personages or topics: To Mary Russell Mitford |
Intertextuality and Influence | Sylvia Kantaris | Other poems are self-referential examinations of poetry and writing. The Recluse describes the inability of the contemporary poet to present in verse (like the unnamed William Wordsworth
) the rustic tale of a chance-met old... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Zadie Smith | These essays are a paradox: colloquial and popular in their enthusiasms, effortlessly learned in their handling. Smith is highly personal as she recounts her cultural discoveries: of a biracial chareacter claiming liberty of creative freedom... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Felicia Hemans | The volume takes its epigraphs and historical starting-points from a wide range of sources, including major male Romantics—Wordsworth
, Byron
, Coleridge
, Goethe
, Schiller
—and lesser-known contemporaries including women—Elizabeth Ogilvy Benger |
Intertextuality and Influence | Christina Rossetti | |
Intertextuality and Influence | Anne Manning | The title-page quotes William Wordsworth
. This is a deliberately quiet and humdrum book, set in the Midlands and centred on the elderly, unmarried Miss Hills of Bever Hollow, Althea and Kitty. Their sisterly relationship... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Harriet Smythies | In a critical preface HS
reveals her gender though not her name. She opens by invoking the author of Rienzi (either, Mary Russell Mitford
or Edward Bulwer Lytton
). The two groups of lovers and... |
Intertextuality and Influence | Eleanor Anne Porden | EAP
was projecting an essay periodical in 1815 (she had the first two numbers planned) when this long poem, written at sixteen, appeared. At about the same time she was reading Wordsworth'sRecluse and poems... |
Leisure and Society | Hannah More | Once an omnivorous reader, HM
restricted her choice of books in later life, in line with her religious convictions. She delighted in William Cowper
