The Lesson of Barambogie: Richardson's Response to Schopenhauer in `The Fortunes of Richard Mahony',
single work
criticism
Ackland traces the influence of Schopenhauer to show how the philosopher's ideas of will and knowledge are employed by Richardson. Richard's experience at Barambogie dramatizes the stripping of all vestiges of will to produce the "pure subject of knowing". Mary is the terrestial antithesis to this transcendant state, maintaining a fine balance in the closing chapters, but Richard's death and burial remain the focus of the narrative.
