Peril and Protection in British Courtship Novels: A Study in Continuity and Change delves into the examination of the usage and significance of danger/safety language in British courtship novels spanning the period from 1719 to 1920. The concept of courtship novels encompasses works that revolve around the journeys of both female and male protagonists towards marriage, as well as those that depict the interplay between comedic courtship and tragic seduction scenarios. By meticulously tracking the terms and imagery related to peril and protection within the works of widely acclaimed and influential authors, Professor Chavis offers a novel perspective on the intricate ways in which the British novel has both upheld the status quo and embodied cultural transformation. Clear discussions of each novel, presented in chronological order, shed new light on the primary concerns, values, internal conflicts, and interpersonal styles of the characters, thereby demonstrating how gender ideology and societal norms governing male-female relationships were both perpetuated and challenged throughout the evolution of the British novel. This multi-faceted study incorporates close textual analysis alongside historical/cultural and feminist criticism, encouraging readers to adopt a microscopic lens to examine the nuances of figurative and literal language and a telescopic lens to explore how alterations in views of masculinity and femininity and interactions within the courtship arena shape the development of the novel genre.
