sotonDH Small Grants: Visualising intertextual dimensions of the Gothic itinerary in George Sand\u2019s Consuelo <\/i>(1842) and La Comtesse de Rudolstadt <\/i>(1843) \u2013 Post 1 by Marilyn Mallia<\/h4>\n

I am a 3rd<\/sup> year PhD student in Modern Languages, and my thesis investigates the uses French writer George Sand makes of the English Gothic Novel in her novels.\u00a0 \u00a0‘Intertextuality’ of this comparative kind lends itself to\u00a0electronic\u00a0visualisation.\u00a0 A section of the results of my analysis \u2013 the parallel geographical and psychological itinerary of Sand\u2019s eponymous heroine Consuelo – will thus be visualised to develop an interactive tool.\u00a0 A paper I have given on this material has already scoped the compelling motif of the spiral to describe it. The spiral is central to my visualization model.\u00a0 The potential student user would be able to explore the key sequences on this spiral in Sand\u2019s novel, and explore links to English Gothic intertexts. \u00a0Apart from allowing for a self-directed literature-learning environment, it would provide critical engagement with nineteenth-century texts.\u00a0 It would also enable complex cognitive processes such as noticing patterns and links, and making cross-references.\u00a0 Prof. Mary Orr\u2019s web-based project on Flaubert\u2019s La Tentation de Saint Antoine<\/i>, will serve as an analogous model in its pedagogical concern of visualising nineteenth-century texts.\u00a0 Rather than representing simple one to one links, this tool will access generic and textual underpinnings of Sand\u2019s novel in terms of the Gothic genre but also the French Romantic novel, showing how Sand negotiates a whole tradition.<\/p>\n

This project will be aimed towards 19th century scholars, ostensibly those on French literature but also to those with comparative literary interests, as well as students seeking to deepen their knowledge of these novels.<\/p>\n
