Hence, the character reproduces traits and reflects a personality type in a certain era. One of the example is The Moonstone novel by Wilkie Collins. Sergeant Cuff, a detective whose character in the novel was influenced by Inspector Jonathan Whicher, a real famous detective of Scotland Yard Police in Victorian era. This research aims at showing the influence of Jonathan Whicher on Sergeant Cuff’s character in The Moonstone novel and the ways he influenced Sergeant Cuff. She applied structural and historical approaches for the analysis. She analyzed Sergeant Cuff’s character through intrinsic and extrinsic elements. In the intrinsic elements, she employed Kenny’s theory on characterization and Lajos’ theory on fundamental structure of character. In historical approach, the writer employed Lynn’s theory on the extrinsic elements in analyzing Sergeant Cuff’s character. In this regard, the crime investigations, the manner, the principles of policing and the uniform of the Scotland Yard in Victorian era were also investigated. Based on the data analysis, the research findings reveal that Sergeant Cuff’s character resembles Jonathan Whicher, a real detective of Scotland Yard Police and the ways he handled criminal cases. It is concluded that Jonathan Whicher greatly influenced the depiction of Sergeant Cuff’s character through the detective values among others his responsibility and faithful, and appearance.

  • Covert Female Power Mediating Identity in Wilkie Collins' The
    Covert Female Power Mediating Identity in Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone Sydney Wildman Wilkie Collins’ text The Moonstone is a quintessential detective story which involves the theft of a precious diamond within a dynamic and complex family. The tale is recounted through shifting the narration between numerous characters. On the surface, the story is simple: the infamous Moonstone diamond has been stolen from Rachel Verinder, the heroine of the story. Her love interest, Franklin Blake serves as the hero, acting as the catalyst for the mystery’s narration as he asks the characters to recount “the story of the Moonstone… as far as our personal experience extends, and no farther”.1 He is responsible for piecing the narrative together, while also providing a substantial portion of the novel from his perspective. Indeed, Blake seems determined to solve the mystery. However, the detection work within the novel becomes more complex than a singular search for the diamond. Anne-Marie Beller argues that while “detection is a necessary quest to find the truth, meaning, and stability”2, the detection is not “merely concerned with finding out the truth about others, but more crucially about oneself”.3 Therefore, with Blake at the forefront of the detection, the process develops into a trajectory of self-discovery. Considering Blake’s contradictory sense of self, the mystery instead becomes a narrative about Blake’s identity shift from hero to thief. However, he is unable to uncover his identity alone. Instead, it is the covert forms of power that lower- and upper-class women hold – Rosanna Spearman and Rachel Verinder, respectively – that mediate Blake’s identity shift.

  • Imperial Neuropsychology and an Indian Diamond: the Quantum Ground of Dreaming in the Moonstone Arup K
    Imperial neuropsychology and an Indian diamond I J o D R Imperial neuropsychology and an Indian diamond: The quantum ground of dreaming in The Moonstone Arup K. Chatterjee Jindal Global Law School, O.P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat, India. Summary. In Wilkie Collins’ novel The Moonstone (1868), Franklin Blake’s censored dream—and his somnambulant theft of the eponymous diamond—was a pioneering thought experiment in Victorian literature, which is also believed to have invented the English detective novel. The question, whether Blake’s supposed dream and somnambulism were constituted by his conscious waking experience or emerged from an unconscious source, remains unanswered as the contents of the dream are not known. Taking The Moonstone beyond the ambit of postcolonial criticism and Anglo-Indian imperial history, I present evidence for the novel’s theme of dreaming being encrypted with principles of Vedanta and ancient Indian dream theories from the Mandukya Upanishad. The novel compels us into a reassessment of the dream continuity hypothesis that its critics have hitherto presumed in one way or another. Taking a few concepts of quantum physics as insightful metaphors—though not as generalizable theories—I argue that, The Moonstone is a remarkable statement on Victorian science, which paves the way for what I define in ‘the quantum ground of dreaming’—a mental state superimposed in experiences of more than one geography and entangled with the desires and anxieties of more than one brain, at once. Keywords: Wilkie Collins; The Moonstone; Sigmund Freud; Carl Jung; psychoanalysis; neuroscience; Vedanta; Man- dukya Upanishad; Turiya; dream quanta 1. Introduction uel Taylor Coleridge’s poem ‘Kubla Khan; or a Vision in a Dream’ (1816) made dreaming appear as a surreal Oriental Victorian England’s interest in dreaming can be judged from experience.

  • Ageing and Imperial Mobility in the British Novel, 1845–1945 Ilsu Sohn
    Ageing and Imperial Mobility in the British Novel, 1845–1945 Ilsu Sohn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Laura Chrisman, Chair Juliet Shields Jesse Oak Taylor Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English © Copyright 2016 Ilsu Sohn University of Washington Abstract Ageing and Imperial Mobility in the British Novel, 1845–1945 Ilsu Sohn Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laura Chrisman Department of English This dissertation examines representations of ageing in eight British novels from the mid- nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. The four chapters and one epilogue explore how the novels’ rewriting of the Bildungsroman gives rise to novelistic genres or types of writing, such as realism, detective fiction, modernism, and modern satire. I compare and contrast cultural assumptions of the ageing of each novel with those of the Bildungsroman so as to elucidate the ideological logic and contradiction of the novelistic genres that the individual novels represent. Scholars on the Bildungsroman tend to attend primarily to the evolution or variations of the genre in isolation, rather than how the genre has been revisited by other genres for their self- fashioning. This dissertation illustrates how to investigate the emergence and characteristics of novelistic genres while focusing on their constant interaction with each other. This dissertation also emphasizes historically-modulated spatial conditions for ageing. The modern history of Britain features the earlier and quicker development of capitalist social relations and imperial political-economic expansion. Culturally diverse forms of movement arise in particular moments in this British history of imperial expansion and the development of world-economic system, and enable or limit British subjects’ normative ageing depending on their class, gender, ethnicity or other social qualifications.
