Graham Swift’s Ever After: Paleontology, Geology, Biology, and Romanesque Fiction
Letissier, Georges
Graham Swift’s Ever After: Paleontology, Geology, Biology, and Romanesque Fiction - 2001.
23
The influence of Darwinism on the “Victorian realist novel” has been extensively studied by Anglo-Saxon critics. To what extent is the very structure of a neo-Victorian novel determined by epistemology? Ever After conveys the stochastic breaks of geology as much as it bears witness to biological organicism. By suggesting patterns of coincidences within the apparent chaos of the universe, Swift’s novel opens up new paths for the fable.
