Franz Robert Richard Brend’amour, “In the Library” 226 Preface xi Preface I come from a long line of reading women. My most vivid memory of my maternal grandmother, Elsie Cohen Posmantur, is of her reading a novel with a box of chocolates by her side. The candy box came with a directory, but Grandma Elsie read less discriminatingly than she chose her choco- lates. A member of the Book of the Month Club from its earliest days, Elsie sampled classics, best-sellers, mysteries, and romances along with choco- late creams, a regular part of her diet. When Grandma Elsie died, my mother and I sorted through her large collection of books, some of which I own today. Not only Elsie’s books but also her love of reading are a legacy my grandmother left for her children and her grandchildren. Not surprisingly, my mother, Nancy Posmantur Golden, is an avid reader, a passion kindled in childhood. Growing up, my mother spent sum- mers at the beach in Fort Erie, Canada, across from her home in Buffalo, New York. Most fine mornings at low tide, she set off to read for the day. Carrying a bag filled with books and a sack lunch, she spent hours reading on the rocky Canadian shoreline. Only with the rise of the tide did she break her literary reverie to return home. If I close my eyes, I can see her now: a skinny girl with long red braids trailing down her back, wearing glasses against her father’s wishes (he thought glasses would spoil her looks), eagerly consuming books—a trope I consciously borrow from the Victorian period. My mother’s most beloved childhood books are classics: L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz series and Lewis Carroll’s Alice books. Sometimes Grandma Elsie used a scary voice when she read Baum aloud to my mother, and my mother cried. The world of fiction seemed that real to my mother, as it still does to me today. My mother, in turn, read me The Little Engine That Could, Charlotte’s Web, Heidi, My Friend Flicka, and Rascal. Even now, in her seventies, my mother audits courses at the University of Buffalo. The ideal student, Nancy always keeps up with her reading and passes along xii Preface reading suggestions to me and my father. On my visits home, I often find my mother, like her mother before her, absorbed in the lives of those exist- ing solely within the pages of a book. My mother presented me with a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonder- land that her nanny, called “Nursie,” gave her when she was a child.

    GENIUS, WOMANHOOD AND THE STATISTICAL IMAGINARY: 1890s HEREDITY THEORY IN THE BRITISH SOCIAL NOVEL by ZOE GRAY BEAVIS B.A. Hons., La Trobe University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Zoe Gray Beavis, 2014 Abstract The central argument of this thesis is that several tropes or motifs exist in social novels of the 1890s which connect them with each other in a genre, and which indicate a significant literary preoccupation with contemporary heredity theory. These tropes include sibling and twin comparison stories, the woman musician’s conflict between professionalism and domesticity, and speculation about biparental inheritance. The particulars of heredity theory with which these novels engage are consistent with the writings of Francis Galton, specifically on hereditary genius and regression theory, sibling and twin biometry, and theoretical population studies. Concurrent with the curiosity of novelists about science, was the anxiety of scientists about discursive linguistic sharing. In the thesis, I illuminate moments when science writers (Galton, August Weismann, William Bates, and Karl Pearson) acknowledged the literary process and the reading audience. I have structured the thesis around the chronological appearance of heredity themes in 1890s social novels, because I am arguing for the existence of a broader cultural curiosity about heredity themes, irrespective of authors’ primary engagement with scientific texts. Finally, I introduce the statistical imaginary as a framework for understanding human difference through populations and time, as evidenced by the construction of theoretical population samples – communities, crowds, and peer groups – in 1890s social fictions.

A young hero battling a difficult youth, we see David’s struggles from his childhood days at the family’s estate in Blunderstone, to his early life of poverty and misery, to his final, joyful success with his writing and retrieving his and his aunt’s fortunes. Many of our favorite Dickens’ characters are present as David’s gentle mother, Clara; the loving housekeeper, Peggoty; his cruel stepfather, Murdstone; his schoolmates Steerforth and Tradddles; the amusing, ever-on-the-run Micawbers; the lovely Agnes Wickfield, and the despicable Uriah Heep. The large role of David can be played by two actors, one the young David, the other the older. Other parts require actors to be a narrators one moment and then be characters the next, a process which keeps the story moving seamlessly.

Mezzanine Exhibition Gallery~ Thomas Cooper Library . University of South Carolina October-November. 2008· FOREWORD This exhibition welcomed to the University the Thirty-Ninth Annual Meeting of the Victorians Institute, a two-day conference bringing to Columbia nearly a hundred Victorian scholars from the south-east and across the United States. So many of the great writers of the Victorian age are still well-known names that myriads of others get overlooked or neglected. The University of South Carolina's Department of Rare Books & Special Collections has first editions and even manuscript material from many of the best-remembered Victorian writers, but it also preserves the writings of others who are now almost forgotten. In some cases, such lesser-known items may be even rarer than long-sought-after first editions by the most famous names. The current exhibition juxtaposes work by major Victorians, such as Charles Dickens, Alfred Tennyson, Charlotte Bronte, and George Eliot, with the work of some of these other · writers who deserve to be better-known.
