With the character of the doctor as her subject, Tabitha Sparks follows the decline of the marriage plot in the Victorian novel. As Victorians came to terms with the scientific revolution in medicine of the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the novel's progressive distance from the conventions of the marriage plot can be indexed through a rising identification of the doctor with scientific empiricism. A narrative's stance towards scientific reason, Sparks argues, is revealed by the fictional doctor's relationship to the marriage plot. Thus, novels that feature romantic doctors almost invariably deny the authority of empiricism, as is the case in George MacDonald's Adela Cathcart. In contrast, works such as Wilkie Collins's Heart and Science, which highlight clinically minded or even sinister doctors, uphold the determining logic of science and, in turn, threaten the novel's romantic plot. By focusing on the figure of the doctor rather than on a scientific theme or medical field, Sparks emulates the Victorian novel's personalization of tropes and belief systems, using the realism associated with the doctor to chart the sustainability of the Victorian novel's central imaginative structure, the marriage plot. As the doctors Sparks examines increasingly stand in for the encroachment of empirical knowledge on a morally formulated artistic genre, their alienation from the marriage plot and its interrelated decline succinctly herald the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of Modernism.

She's hiding one hell of a secret... Governess Frances Rothbury is terrified and on the run after accidentally killing her employer, the rapacious Lord Ashworth. Fleeing certain death, she escapes to Scotland, taking a position as Governess to Laird Duncan Grant's children. Expecting an aging Laird, she's dismayed to find the Laird the most attractive man she's ever seen, and clever and observant, too. Desperate to keep a low profile, she's determined to keep anyone from discovering her terrible secret. And she's hiding more than one... Laird Duncan Grant is a widower regaining his beloved Scottish roots. Abiding by his father's decisions, years spent in English education institutions and even taking an English wife have only strengthened his resolve to stand firm against the English redcoats patrolling his lands. The last thing he wants is an English governess teaching his children. Especially a Governess who is not only beautiful and kind, but whose story just doesn't quite add up. When the red-coat threat escalates and her secrets are revealed, nothing for Frances will ever be the same again...

Javier Marías is a major contemporary Spanish novelist who has enjoyed remarkable international success and recognition. He is a writer who has undergone a singular and clearly discernible novelistic evolution and has forged a very distinctive style of his own. It is this formal development that this book traces through a study of his works from Los dominios del lobo (1971) to Negra espalda del tiempo (1998). With the help of a wide range of 20th-century literary theories and criticism, it strives to show that in order to escape realism and Spanishness and to make his way into literature, Marías forges an intricate style which progressively develops and matures, and which creates highly suggestive and elaborate imaginative worlds, a literature with a particular ontology, ultimately capable of inventing reality. This book is the first full-length study of Javier Marías's work to be published so far and serves both as an introduction to, and a close examination of, the work of a major European writer.
