  • Flashman's Neo-Victorian Adventures in Zenda Helena Esser Abstract
    Doppelgängers and Impostors: Flashman’s Neo-Victorian Adventures in Zenda Helena Esser Abstract Neo-Victorian fiction has come to be understood as postmodern metafiction which re-evaluates the legacies of the nineteenth century, but scholarship tends to discuss the popular in neo-Victorianism mostly where steampunk is concerned. While this anachronistic subgenre may illustrate our relationship with the Victorian age on a wide scale, other, earlier popular fictions have paved the way in crucial ways and have much to offer. This article considers how George MacDonald Fraser’s satirical novel Royal Flash (1970) actively engages with and re-works Anthony Hope’s classic Victorian popular novel The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) through an engaging parody of Victorian ideals of chivalrous masculinity and the adventure genre. As a neo-Victorian doppelgänger, cad and coward Harry Flashman insightfully caricatures historical events and texts alike, actualising history as textual and therefore open to re-interpretation. Through its humorous metatextual play with ideals and identities, the novel re-contextualises the Victorian era for new readerships and illustrates how a popular neo-Victorian mode may enhance and enrich our understanding of our relationship with the Victorian past.

  • Summary This Novel Is About the Adventures of a Young English Gentleman, Rudolf Rassendyll, in the Fictional European Kingdom of Ruritania
    LITTLE THINGS by Julia. A. Carney This is a very beautiful, interesting and simple poem written by Julia. A. Carney. This short poem shows the sensitive views of the poetess to the little things. The poetess tells us the importance of little things. She says that we should not ignore little things. The poetess has observed different blessings of the God. She convinces us by giving a few examples of the objects of nature around us. These things are not useless. Often little things in life indicate great changes. All big bodies are made up of little particles as little drops of water make mighty oceans. Little grains of sand make a vast land. Although the short moments of our life are humble yet they make endless ages. The poetess advises us that we should not take little deeds of kindness as worthless actions. Our small errors can lead us towards the deep valley of sins, in the same way our little acts of kindness and little deeds of love can make us dear in the eyes of our enemies and this world worth living. Summary This novel is about the adventures of a young English gentleman, Rudolf Rassendyll, in the fictional European kingdom of Ruritania. Chapter 1: Rudolf Rassendyll decides to visit Ruritania to watch the coronation of King Rudolf the Fifth in the capital city, Strelsau. Rassendyll makes his way to Zenda, a small town in favour of Duke Michael, the King’s brother.

The stakes had been high, the struggle keen; the edge of passion had been sharpened, and the seeds of enmity sown.

    Masterpiece of Ruritanian Romance Anthony Hope was the pen-name of Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins. His famous 'Ruritanian romance' (he coined the name of ' Ruritania ' for the setting of this cloak-and-sword story) was published as long ago as 1894. It has been an inspira- tion to drama producers and leading actors and actresses right down to our own day. Countless hundreds of readers have read the book again and again. The lasting quaHties of Hope's master- piece are not difficult to assess. Above all it has romantic situations and characters that live within a very real world of their own—for within Anthony Hope's king- dom where the Elphbergs reign is all the reflection of the royal tragedy, the echo of the hapless Hapsburgs, the recession of the royal ideal that modern history has recorded over the years since the famous romance was written. At heart most people who enjoy this book are ardent royalists, and the adventure that Rudolph Rassendyll had in helping to let the royal right triumph over the evil might of Black Michael is an adventure that most of us have been engaged on in a great or lesser degree—Rudolph is therefore everybody's hero and Black Michael everybody's villain, whether he reflects [conturned on back flap < BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY »^* THE PRISONER OF ZENDA By the same Author RUPERT OF HENTZAU See page i6o in hand, vaulted over the parapet I .
