Abstract
The continued legacy of the novel’s formative links to Enlightenment Anthropology, extensively mapped by Ian Duncan’s recent Human Forms (Princeton Univeristy Press, 2019)? An opportunity to think Victorian Realism as in some surprising ways consonant with the anti-colonial genealogy of the human initiated by Frantz Fanon and Sylvia Wynter? An indication of the realist novel’s anthropocentric limits in an era of global warming, as Amitav Ghosh has charged? If it leaves its readers without fully settling these questions, Brilmyer’s book also helps open them further as lines of inquiry for the study of the Victorian novel. Generous as well as generative, The Science of Character finally shares with the novels it analyzes an ability to make us see again both the dynamic complexity of human character and the open horizons of its relations and ramifications.
期刊介绍：
From its inception, Studies in the Novel has been dedicated to building a scholarly community around the world-making potentialities of the novel. Studies in the Novel started as an idea among several members of the English Department of the University of North Texas during the summer of 1965. They determined that there was a need for a journal “devoted to publishing critical and scholarly articles on the novel with no restrictions on either chronology or nationality of the novelists studied.” The founding editor, University of North Texas professor of contemporary literature James W. Lee, envisioned a journal of international scope and influence. Since then, Studies in the Novel has staked its reputation upon publishing incisive scholarship on the canon-forming and cutting-edge novelists that have shaped the genre’s rich history. The journal continues to break new ground by promoting new theoretical approaches, a broader international scope, and an engagement with the contemporary novel as a form of social critique.
