| | Cardiff Corvey Articles, X.3: T.S. WAGNER. Nostalgia for Home or Homelands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Wholeheartedly endorsing the new nationalist ideology of the homeland, regional novels and national tales, by contrast, attempt to create a communal nostalgia for places that are meant to be exotic to the general reader, while construing memories of something that is familiar, though remote enough to be invested with the allure of the exotic. |
 | | Romantic nationalism as founded on a shared culture is instead shown to clash with a personal past; the xenophobia nurtured by Jacobin as well as anti-Jacobin ideologies with the heroine’s hybridity; and a manufactured nationalist heritage nostalgia with homesickness. |
 | | The liberal, even radical, attitudes underlying the representation of a woman pursued by her husband, of the racism directed against a (seemingly) fl refugee, and the treatment of an employee or hired companion, however, are undercut by the exposure of the anti-heroine’s false liberality and eventual breakdown. |
