Abstract

This interdisciplinary collection of essays explores the life and work of Charlotte M. Yonge, a highly influential and popular nineteenth-century writer who is emerging from a long period of critical neglect. Its wide-ranging chapters capture the scope and quality of current work in Yonge studies, addressing the full range of her prolific literary output from her best-selling novels to her nature writing, biographies, and letters. Considering themes from gender, disability, and empire, to Tractarianism, secularism, and the idea of progress, these essays consider how Yonge reflected and shaped the tastes, ideas and anxieties of her readers and contemporaries. Exploring her key role in the Anglican revival, her importance as a test case in the development of feminist criticism, and her formal innovativeness as a novelist, this collection places Yonge centrally in the nineteenth-century literary landscape and demonstrates her ongoing relevance to scholars and students of the period. Clare Walker Gore is a lecturer in English Literature at the Open University. She held a Junior Research Fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was named a BBC/AHRC 'New Generation Thinker'. Her book, Plotting Disability in the Nineteenth-Century Novel, appeared in 2019. She is pursuing a project on Victorian women writers. Clemence Schultze is an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Classics at Durham University, after a career lecturing on ancient history. She has published on nineteenth-century classical reception, was for ten years Chair of the Charlotte M. Yonge Fellowship, and has co-edited an essay collection on Yonge. Julia Courtney is retired from the Open University where she was an administrator, associate lecturer and research fellow. She has published articles and book chapters on aspects of Victorian literature and culture and has co-edited two essay collections. She is co-editor, with Clemence Schultze, of the Charlotte M. Yonge Fellowship Journal.

Abstract

Apuleius' tale of Cupid and Psyche has been popular since it was first written in the second century CE as part of his Latin novel Metamorphoses. Often treated as a standalone text, Cupid and Psyche has given rise to treatments in the last 400 years as diverse as plays, masques, operas, poems, paintings and novels, with a range of diverse approaches to the text.Apuleius' story of the love between the mortal princess Psyche (or "Soul") and the god of Love has fascinated recipients as varied as Romantic poets, psychoanalysts, children's books authors, neo-Platonist philosophers and Disney film producers. These readers themselves produced their own responses to and versions of the story. This volume is the first broad consideration of the reception of C&P in Europe since 1600 and an adventurous interdisciplinary undertaking. It is the first study to focus primarily on material in English, though it also ranges widely across literary genres in Italian, French and German, encompassing poetry, drama and opera as well as prose fiction and art history, studied by an international team of established and young scholars.Detailed studies of single works and of whole genres make this book relevant for students of Classics, English, Art History, opera and modern film.
