Abstract

"This book highlights the ways in which Britain and Belgium became culturally entangled as a result of their interaction in the period between the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War. In the course of the nineteenth century, the battlefields of Waterloo and Ypres in Belgium became veritable burial grounds for generations of dead British military, indirectly leading to the most intensive ties between the two countries. By exploring this twofold path, the author uncovers a series of cross-influences and creative similarities within the Belgo-British artistic community, and explores the background against which the British national identity was constructed. Revealing unknown links between some of the most famous artists on both sides of the channel, such as D.G. Rossetti and Jan Van Eyck; Christina Rossetti and Fernand Khnopff; John Millais and Pieter Breughel, and Lewis Carroll and Quentin Massys, the book emphasises an artistic cross-fertilisation that can be found within battlefield literature throughout the nineteenth century, including examples from the likes of William M. Thackeray, Frances Trollope and Charlotte Bront�e. Providing a rich intercultural history of Belgo-British relations after the battle of Waterloo, this interdisciplinary book will appeal to scholars and students researching history, literature, art and cultural studies."--Publisher information.

Abstract

De 6 bijdragen in deze bundel zijn alle geschreven vanuit een feministische invalshoek maar voor het overige heel heterogeen. Drie artikelen behandelen 1 tekst of het werk van één auteur: Oranges are not the only fruit van de Britse Jeanette Winterson, het gedicht 'Marriage' van de Amerikaanse Marianne Moore en het proza van de Oostenrijkse Friederike Mayröcker. Een vierde artikel verbindt Nathaniel Hawthorne, Kate Chopin en Jane Campion, terwijl een vijfde opstel het beeld van de spiegel onderzoekt in zowel de feministische theorievorming als boeken van Stevie Smith en Antonia White.
