Fairies in Nineteenth-Century Art and Literature - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Bown, Nicola (Birkbeck College, University of London)
Nicola Bown's study reminds us that for the Victorians the fairy symbolized disenchantment with the irresistible forces of progress and modernity. As these forces stripped their world of its wonder, Victorians consoled themselves by dreaming of a place suffused with the enchantment that was disappearing from their own lives.
