Sense and sensibility and Mansfield Park : inner worlds and modernity. by Chang, Victoria Kai Ling.

“…By “stressing the fluidity of mental processes” in a character then, Austen can thus be seen as “a novelist opposed to dogmatic truths, committed to the particulars of experience, and open to future possibilities in a mood of optimistic skepticism” (Duckworth 97).

The Eminent Victorian and the Philosopher by Elisa Bolchi

“…With the rise of the phenomenon of language skepticism around 1900, the topos of narrating dogs became of particular interest and both these works can be placed in the fashion of dog novels, but while Svevo, although with reversed roles, draws from the literary fashion of the philosopher dog, in which “canine narrators eloquently master the human language” (Driscoll and Hoffmann 2018), Woolf plays with the very British, and Victorian, tradition of ‘illustrious biographies’ and writes the biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s cocker spaniel. …”

These encounters are both limited and enabled by the frames of the pilgrimage: The environmental bubble of the guided tour, the Christian orientations and activities in the itinerary, and the power relations of hosts and guests. …”
