Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]Oscar Wilde went further than this, claiming that costumes are fundamental to the story-telling process: According to Rev. J. E. Gladstone, the tracts were 'an unscriptural and ungodly conspiracy, to confine the intellect and to enslave the souls of free Englishmen'.8 As a result of the Reformation, Anglicanism transcended doctrine, and became an expression of nationality and independence from external ideological and political ties. According to Stoker, Irving was 'scrupulous against offence'.19 This is, in itself, a curious comment. [...]he alerts his mother to her crimes, awakens her contrition, and prepares her for absolution.
