The aim of this paper is to explore the significance of sounds negative and sounds positive in Daniel Deronda, tracing a sequence of significant sounds from the near-silence of the opening scene in a gaming room to the jubilant licence of sound in the concluding wedding scene. It is particularly interested in a series of shrieks from the heroine, Gwendolen—three in number, at the charade, at the time of her wedding, and at the death of her husban…
Home Thoughts, From Abroad
This paper examines the frequent use of the word ‘blighty’ in First World War poetry and prose to signify from the frontline trenches the longedfor world of home.

It modulates in mean…

On the other, there is the legacy of enthusiastic attention and appropriation from William Makepeace Thac…
