AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Stewart examines the role of literature in the novel, especially in relation to Sylvia's awareness of the world in which she lives. The similar themes of Rousseau, Saint-Pierre and Shakespeare (all of which Sylvia reads) are discussed and their effect on the meaning of His Natural Life is assessed.

Notes

  • Includes reference to the influence of Emile by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Paul and Virginia by Bernadin de Saint-Pierrre and Sermons by Hugh Blair on Marcus Clarke.
