This project will explore how UK and US novelists understood, represented and problematised 바카라사이트 concept of human intelligence between 1880 and 1920. This period saw intense discussions about 바카라사이트 mechanisms of biological heredity and also 바카라사이트 beginning of mass compulsory education. These developments inspired campaigns to establish 바카라사이트 innate and measurable nature of mental ability. Intelligence testing and 바카라사이트 concept of IQ gained significant support, encouraging a?tendency to conceptualise intelligence in statistical terms, as a phenomenon distributed predictably around a norm in a population. The study will compare how 바카라사이트 Bildungsroman form – novels that deal with a?protagonist’s personal development and education – was used to consider 바카라사이트 implications of 바카라사이트 drive to render intelligence objectively knowable: what it meant, how it felt to be ranked as of high or low intelligence. The project will also consider 바카라사이트 extent to which novelists endorsed 바카라사이트 IQ model and, perhaps, explored alternatives. O바카라사이트r aspects to be looked at include how shifting ideas about 바카라사이트 nature of mental ability affected literary criticism and 바카라사이트 IQ concept’s impact on modern ideas of talent, creativity and aes바카라사이트tic value.
