- Title
Emblems and Ecphrases in "Dombey and Son."
- Authors
Edgecombe, Rodney Stenning
- Abstract
This article discusses the adaptation of specific pictorial modes at various points of a narrative. It mentions that during the onset of the eighteenth century, the emblem has become a gothic lumber in which there is reduction of word and image to affect its semi-verbal compound. Furthermore, Victorian painters and novelists relies heavily in the Hogarthian kind of emblem. However, the development of empirical science has altered the emblem's mode of signification.
