Economic and Symbolic Transmissions in Women’s Novels: Frances Burney, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell by Marie-Laure Massei-Chamayou

“…In A Room of One’s Own (1929), Virginia Woolf traces a fascinating genealogy of women writers from Aphra Behn to George Eliot, including Frances Burney and Jane Austen among others, to emphasize the power of influence in relation to their engagement with both fiction and economics. At the crossroads between economic and symbolic transmissions, this paper seeks to highlight the evolving representations of women’s complex relationships to inheritance by focusing on a few emblematic novels, whose plots crystallize major economic and social changes—namely Burney’s Cecilia (1782), Austen’s Sense and Sensibility (1811), and Gaskell’s North and South (1854‒55).…”

Mirror-Image Asymmetry, Chirality, and Suttree by Bryan Giemza

“…There is strong evidence confirming McCarthy’s interest in chirality, including archival notes on the subject that were eventually translated through his fiction. Understanding chirality in turn reveals new dimensions of scientific and philosophical meaning in McCarthy’s work, including his investigation of free will, chance, and determinism; his interest in narrative, consciousness, and evolutionary theory; and his search for a logos—a universal ordering principle in both the material and metaphysical worlds.…”
