“…The dramatic monologue and related forms, by way of example, especially those by Browning and Tennyson, challenge the Cartesian dualism of self and other (see i. armstrong 1993;and Slinn 1991). reconciliation, wholeness, and transcendence are replaced by a process of exchange in which one perspective is tested, altered, or replaced by another.…”

“…Sometimes exposed to a play of subjective and objective views in dialogic relation, this reader/viewer is, at other times, confronted with a confusion or fragmentation of views that similarly tests his interpretive capacities.

Warwick Slinn about a range of nineteenth-century poems came late in the going, but at a crucial moment, nonetheless. Steven Cohan supported me more like a brother than a friend during the writing of this book. Since he retains everything i don't-from numerous facts (like what is covered on my insurance policies), to our old co-authored manuscript pages from Telling Stories, to all the books i sold many years ago and then needed again off his bookshelves-his help proved essential on more than one occasion. While busy writing on twentieth-century film and television, he nevertheless offered a sympathetic ear about texts in which he had only a remote interest.My extraordinary husband, Uli, exercised his usual care in watering the seeds of ideas and in reading first drafts-using the motif of the long, skinny dachshund, in red pen, for those sentences which seemed to go on way too long or to have lost themselves in a neighboring yard. i won't easily forget our excited conversations about rossetti and Dyce, our visit together to the fantastic Turner retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of art, his single parenting for a year, or that beach vacation, dangling before me if i would just finish the revisions.

Because of the high reproduction costs for color illustrations, especially for an academic press, i have set up a website at www.lindashires.com which features many of the paintings and photographs referenced in this book. as this book went to press, my editors and i discovered that the victoria and albert Museum has made obtaining reproductions far eas...
