Thoughtful, intriguing, and (surprisingly in a contemporary novel) quirkily inspiring. Now I really need to read Mary Barton and Sylvia’s Lovers.
What drew my interest to The Victorian and the Romantic: A Memoir, A Love Story, and a Friendship Across Time was the pitch about “two irresistible true-life romances†set across time. I was very interested in how two lives set apart by over a century could be linked in such a way that a book could be dedicated to it. Sadly, the pitch was not realized for me because I found neither romance irresistible. I was also hoping for a link between the two main characters of the book that would be endearing or meaningful in a way but that did not happen for me either.There is a contemporary romance angle told by the voice of the author about her love affair with an American. There is also a historical piece surrounding Elizabeth Gaskell and her supposed love affair with Charles Eliot Norton. I say supposed because honestly you have to really “read between the lines†to imagine such a feeling existed between the two and even then I was not wholly convinced. It was a very creative imagining though.I felt that the Author did a great job making an argument for the supposed love affair that was never able to be realized between Gaskell and Norton. I also felt that she was able to show parallels for what she believed that Gaskell could have felt that were similar to that which the author was also struggling with. I think that there is a great fictional memoir intertwined with a biography about the Author’s journey with love and academia that was at times very appealing to read. Though, I absolutely would have enjoyed the story more if the historical portion had been based on solid facts and not artistic license.This review is based on a complimentary book I received from NetGalley. It is an honest and voluntary review. The complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.
Thank you Doubleday books for sending me this free copy to review!"When will you come to England, and see us dear Mr. Norton?" ~ Elizabeth Gaskell, July 25, 1858 (from The Letters of Mrs Gaskell)Just who was this Mr. Norton that Elizabeth Gaskell faithfully wrote to for 10 years? And what was the nature of her relationship with this man who was 17 years her junior? In 1857, just after writing the biography on her friend Charlotte Bronte, Gaskell and her two daughters set off for an extended holiday in Rome. There, they enjoy the company of artists and writers like Robert and Elizabeth Browning and an American critic Charles Eliot Norton.The author, Nell Stevens, has written a book that is part historical fiction and part memoir. In 2013, while a she was working on her dissertation about a community of artists and writers living in 19th century Rome, a relationship develops with Max, an American, who is living in Paris but then returns to Boston. Time and distance eventually take its toll on the relationship, resulting in a break up and acute heartache. Nell finds her academic pursuits sidelined by the break up. She turns to her favorite author, a subject of her research, and sees similarities in their bond of unrequited love.This was such an interesting concept to combine two genres. What drew me to this novel was the great Gaskell, one of my favorite authors, but I found I equally enjoyed the author's memoir. The modern romantic is not so different from the Victorian romantic. Both seem to think that marriage and children are necessary for fulfillment, but does a woman need both to feel whole and content? And what of creative and professional pursuits? Can that be enough of a substitute for a family? Gaskell had all three, making her a role model for the author, but was Gaskell content? Lots of food for thought on this one!
Nell Stevens’ long anticipated memoir/historical novel The Victorian and the Romantic is one of a few Advance Reader e-books I received from my friends at Doubleday Books and netgalley.com, and I thought it was such a fun book! The Victorian and the Romantic switches back and forth between chapters that focus on the life of Victorian author Elizabeth Gaskell, and chapters that talk about Nell’s experience with love and heartbreak while studying to get her PhD. I thought the way that Stevens was able to connect her own situation of falling in and out of love with a similar situation involving an author that she greatly admires was a very interesting concept, and she did it quite well. I don’t really want to spoil any part of the book for you, but I will say that I particularly enjoyed that the book doesn’t really end in a way that you might expect it to, but that both Nell and Mrs. Gaskell still feel fulfilled regardless. The Victorian and the Romantic is a pleasant book not just about love, but about growing up and making hard choices. I flew through this book relatively quickly, and I really liked it! It’s available in bookstores now, so be sure to give it a read!
not sure why Elizabeth Gaskell was chosen to parallel author's own story. seems like there is no connection. not sure why the author gains inspiration from Gaskell. but the two stories held my interest. i also think the characters were too self absorbed. i wish I could run around to London and read Victorian novels all day.
It was hard to discern between the biographical portions on Elizabeth Gaskell and the fantastical delusions of author Nell Stevens. The book is easy to read and that's a credit to Nell -- or is it Helen? -- but she simply goes off the rails when it comes to the personal narrative about Max. Also, the details in the book do not match up with the "facts" of Nell's/Helen's Modern Love essay in the New York Times, which she cribbed from Chapter 15 of the book.
I really loved The Victorian and the Romantic, as a book partially about literature, but also about the author's relationship to literature and to academia. The book is in part a biography of Elizabeth Gaskell, but also it is about how readers in the present think about the past, and is written really beautifully in a way that reflects both those things.
