Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences - QJSS - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This article analyses and evaluates the novel The Forgotten Cottage by Courtney Ellis, which focuses on the exploration of historical and socio-political issues. The research examines the impact of historical events, particularly World War I, on people's human psyches. Using the framework of New Historicism, the study demonstrates the power structure, socio-political problems and suppression of women during a specific time period. The purpose of this research is to investigate historical notions related to New Historicism and to highlight the cultural, political, and societal issues portrayed in the text. Additionally, the study explores the development of historical narratives and their influence on the characters throughout the novel. By employing a methodology of textual analysis based on the frameworks developed by Michael Foucault and Stephen Greenblatt, this article contributes to the field of New Historicism and extends to wider literary practices in general. The study is analytical, qualitative, and descriptive in nature.
