But how do novels cultivate that feeling? Where exactly does experience reside? \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Location of Experience\u003c\/i\u003e argues that, paradoxically, novels create experience for us not by bringing reality up close, but by engineering environments in which we feel constrained from acting. By excavating the history of the rise of experience as an important category of Victorian intellectual life, this book reveals how experience was surprisingly tied to emotions of remorse and regret for some of the era's great women novelists: the Brontës, George Eliot, Margaret Oliphant, and Elizabeth Gaskell. It shows how these writers passed ideas about experience—and experiences themselves—among each other.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on intellectual history, psychology, and moral philosophy, \u003ci\u003eThe Location of Experience\u003c\/i\u003e shows that, through manipulating the psychological dimensions of fiction's formal features, Victorian women novelists produced a philosophical account of experience that rivaled and complemented that of the male philosophers of the period.\u003cbr\u003e The Location of Experience: Victorian Women Writers, the Novel, and the Feeling of Living\u003ci\u003e is available from the Knowledge Unlatched on an open-access basis.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e  1\u003cbr\u003e Experience on the Move: Transitioning, Transferring,\u003cbr\u003e Containing, 3 • Narrative Relations, Novel Worlds,\u003cbr\u003e 7 • The Organization of This Book, 10 • Women\u003cbr\u003e Writers, Women Readers, Feminist Theory, 12 •\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments, 15\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eTransfers of Experience: Brontës, Gaskell, Meynell, Sinclair   18\u003cbr\u003e Introduction, 18 • Experience in Victorian Philosophy,\u003cbr\u003e 22 • The Brontës and Experience, 29 • May Sinclair,\u003cbr\u003e 33 • A Distributed-Brontë Theory of Experience, 37 •\u003cbr\u003e Images of Haworth, 40 • Coda: Little Brontës, 50\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Story of O: Margaret Oliphant and Anti-metalepsis   56\u003cbr\u003e Introduction, 56 • The Story of O, 60 • \"No One to\u003cbr\u003e Interfere,\" 63 • \"Let Me In!,\" 68 • The Story of \"Oh!,\"\u003cbr\u003e 75 • The O of Experience and the World Stack, 81\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eGeorge Eliot and Prolepsis: Prediction, Prevention, Protection   85\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Rethinking Prolepsis, 85 • Beginnings\u003cbr\u003e and Endings, 93 • The Future in \"The Lifted Veil,\"\u003cbr\u003e 95 • Predicting the End in The Mill on the Floss, 98 •\u003cbr\u003e Will, Determinism, Necessity, and Narration, 103 •\u003cbr\u003e Development, Education, and the Futures of The Mill on\u003cbr\u003e the Floss, 108 • Coda: Silas Marner, 111\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eRegret, Remorse, and Realism in Elizabeth Gaskell   117\u003cbr\u003e Introduction, 117 • Half-Mended Stockings, 123 • \u003cbr\u003e Lines and Angles, 126 • What Never Happened, 133 • \u003cbr\u003e Remorse, Narration, Description, 136\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCoda \u003c\/b\u003e  144\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  151\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e  189\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  209\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676655644952,"sku":"9781531508616","price":22.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-location-of-experience-victorian-women-writers-the-novel-and-the-feeling-of-living-paperback-softback-9781531508616","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
