- Title
Victorian Pilgrimage: Sacred-Secular Dualism in the Novels of Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot.
- Authors
Albrecht, Thomas
- Abstract
One example is the "indeterminate endings" of Brontë's novels, which Chard characterizes as the discovery "that the pilgrimage has to do... not with attainment but with expectation" (38, 66). Victorian Pilgrimage: Sacred-Secular Dualism in the Novels of Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot, by M. Joan Chard; pp. xii + 156. Chard repeatedly traces plot and character trajectories in individual works by Brontë, Gaskell, and Eliot that she argues are cast by those novelists as figurative pilgrimages.
