Ce volume rassemble des études consacrées à l'appréciation morale du caractère des autres, telle qu'on peut la dégager de la lecture d'auteurs grecs et latins. Complexité ou simplification psychologique, portraits moraux de grands hommes ou esquisses de types humains, à la fois universels et emblématiques de leur époque, ces études d'histoire des mentalités prennent en compte la diversité des situations pour porter attention aux actes, aux paroles et au comportement d'une personne, ainsi qu'à la notion de caractère, telle qu'elle est développée par les philosophes et les moralistes ou qu'elle sous-tend l'argumentation des orateurs, les réflexions des historiens ou les intrigues dramatiques, épiques et romanesques.

Stories of hardworking characters who bring themselves out of rags to riches abound in the Victorian era. In chapters featuring the works of novelists, the author demonstrates that Victorian fiction dramatized ambition and problematized it as well"--

Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Janet Gezari reassesses Charlotte Bronte's achievement by showing the ways in which an embodied defensiveness is central to both the novels and their author's life. Gezari seeks to revise our sense of Bronte's life by turning attention from its familiar romantic circumstances to its less familiar practical circumstances. They reveal a woman more embattled, contentious, and resilient, though no less passionate, than the more familiar trembling soul.
