Deirdre David's biography of Fanny Kemble is as vivid and many-sided as Kemble was herself. an actress who claimed to hate the stage, Kemble seems more a presence than a performer. Though her audiences loved her, I wonder whether she was an actress at all. unlike H…

The Waning George Eliot
Taken together, the four books under review here make me feel, not too comfortably, like a character in Middlemarch : in the aggregate, recent work on George Eliot is so slight that it evokes books unwritten, mighty tasks not only unfinished, but unbegun. The comparative modesty of even excellent work like Rosemarie Bodenheimer's, the sense that criticism is returning, in a smaller compass with more scrupulous vision, to ground already broken, is…
Our Vampires, Ourselves
"Sometimes bewitchingly erotic, sometimes repellent, sometimes ravenous, vampires embody their societies' fears and forbidden dreams. In this wry, original book, literary critic and vampire enthusiast Nina Auerbach shows how every age embraces the vampire it needs and, at the same time, gets the vampire it deserves."--BOOK JACKET.

Incarnations of the Orphan
The figure of the wandering orphan, searching through an alien world for his home, has fascinated generations of novelists. The loneliness and the license of his point of view shake the solid foundations of English fiction. His isolation is a counterpoint to the view of the English novel given us by such critics as Wayne Booth, Ian Watt, and, most recently, David Goldknopf, who see it as a form in which consciousness is born into self-knowledge o…

O Brave New World: Evolution and Revolution in Persuasion
An analysis of the symbolism in Jane Austen's Persuasion may lead us to discover stirrings of revolution underneath the quiet surface of the novel. To define the revolution of Persuasion, we should begin by examining the laws of its created world in relation to those governing Jane Austen's earlier novels. It may be helpful in this connection to think of Persuasion as Jane Austen's Tempest, another final work that reprises and transforms themes a…
