Author: Ruth Rosaler File Type: pdf How are a readers perceptions of a plot impacted by its presentation through textual clues rather than explicit narration and why would an author choose this comparatively indirect mode of narration? Conspicuous Silences answers these questions by examining Victorian novels in which pivotal events are left inexplicit for hundreds of pages at a time, but are nonetheless evident to the reader. The clarity with which readers understand these inexplicit plot lines is evidenced by their ability to follow the progression of narratives that rely heavily on the inexplicit content being detected without this reader comprehension, these narratives would be deemed incoherent. In linguistics, communications that depend on a hearers or readers inference, rather on their decoding the explicit content of an utterance, are termed implicatures. Conspicuous Silences explores the impact that central, sustained implicatures have on a readers experience of a novel. It also discusses how authors may generate those implicatures by exploiting the readers assumption of narratorial omniscience, and the correlated reader assumption of a narratives fictionality. Reliance on such sustained, fictionality-related implicatures is fairly ubiquitous Conspicuous Silences concentrates on texts by Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Frances Trollope, Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, and M. E. Braddon. It examines the use of implicature in communicating impolite topics, communicating character psychology, and in fashioning a playful narrative tone. This work contributes to Victorian literary scholarship, narratological discussions about narratorial omniscience and fictionality, and pragmatic stylistic debates about fictionality and the use of implicature. **

Author: Tara Bergin File Type: epub A 2017 Poetry Book Society Recommendation Shortlisted for The Forward Prize for Best Collection 2017 Following her 2013 debut This is Yarrow (winner of the Seamus Heaney Prize and the Shine Strong Award), Tara Bergin returns with her second collection, The Tragic Death of Eleanor Marx. The poems draw on folksong, fairytale and theatrical monologue as Bergin explores the alluring and sometimes tragic consequences of translation. When she committed suicide in 1898, Eleanor Marx (daughter of Karl Marx, pioneering sociologist, and translator of Flauberts Madame Bovary) imitated Flauberts heroine, Emma. Both women, in their own ways, died passionate deaths, and Bergins poems are concerned with intense love, intense grief. With a sing-song rhythm and dark humor, they play off the natural theatricality of great lovers, great writers and great readers who, like the fancy-dressed children in Mask, are both themselves and strangers. Thats all they wanted. **
