Folk narrative in the nineteenth-century British novel. - 228 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Oregon, 2006.

Nineteenth-century British authors frequently made use of popular narratives in their novels, often retelling fairy tales, ballads, and myths. Many of these narratives were well known due not only to oral transmission but also to printed chapbooks, broadsides, and pantomimes. This dissertation examines the way Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, and Charlotte Bronte used such narratives together with common traditional topoi to examine social issues of the day: gender-relations, the coming of the industrialized modern age, the changing of values, and the way institution, law, and tradition were applied to social problems. The focus is on Dickens's Bleak House, Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and Bronte's Jane Eyre, with reference to other works by each author. The narratives retold in these novels include fairy tales such as "Bluebeard," "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Sleeping Beauty," and tales from The Arabian Nights as well as ballads such as "Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight" and "The Spotted Cow," and a host of songs about milkmaids. Myths include that of Demeter and Persephone, the Genesis account of the Creation and Fall of man, the biblical story of Esther, and the Arthurian legends.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Nineteenth-century British authors frequently made use of popular narratives in their novels, often retelling fairy tales, ballads, and myths. Many of these narratives were well known due not only to oral transmission but also to printed chapbooks, broadsides, and pantomimes. This dissertation examines the way Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, and Charlotte Bronte used such narratives together with common traditional topoi to examine social issues of the day: gender-relations, the coming of the industrialized modern age, the changing of values, and the way institution, law, and tradition were applied to social problems. The focus is on Dickens's Bleak House, Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and Bronte's Jane Eyre, with reference to other works by each author. The narratives retold in these novels include fairy tales such as "Bluebeard," "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Sleeping Beauty," and tales from The Arabian Nights as well as ballads such as "Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight" and "The Spotted Cow," and a host of songs about milkmaids. Myths include that of Demeter and Persephone, the Genesis account of the Creation and Fall of man, the biblical story of Esther, and the Arthurian legends.
520 $a The authors' views of the traditions in the tales varied. Bronte saw folk narratives as providing alternative ways of seeing the world and women's place in it and includes radical revisions of several fairy tales in Jane Eyre. The more conservative Dickens used fairy tales to reinforce the doctrine of separate spheres. Hardy saw folk narratives as representing a way of believing and living that was being squeezed out and made no longer relevant by the modern world. Tess's life follows the trajectory of milkmaid ballad and mythical goddess, but Hardy chooses forms of the narratives that are focused on death rather than life and renewal. In each case, common ground created by the use of traditional narratives provided a stable foundation on which to build theories and works of literary art that remain meaningful to this day.
