This essay argues that one key to understanding Dickens's \"drift\" from xenophobia to xenophilia is to trace its imaginative origins in the essay \"Travelling Abroad\" (1860), which centers upon an English traveler on the Continent who is dogged by nightmarish visions of cannibalism and corpses—who is riddled through, that is, with the powerful compulsion to consume what he sees. \"Travelling Abroad\" thus foreshadows and bridges the sophisticated economic critiques of Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend, and it does so in the act of indicting Englishness, not foreignness, for the barbarity implicit in its narrator's imagined acts. In this sense, I suggest, Dickens's apparently softened view of foreigners in Our Mutual Friend has much to do with his hardened attitude toward England, and particularly his hardened view of the psychological and cultural effects of its maturing capitalism.","PeriodicalId":195639,"journal":{"name":"Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131675828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stenography and Orality in Dickens: Rethinking the Phonographic Myth 狄更斯的速记和口述:重新思考留声机神话

The difficulty with this argument is that Dickens learned shorthand from a hybrid system—Thomas Gurney's Brachygraphy—that was radically different from the classic phonography of Isaac Pitman's Stenographic Shorthand. Unlike the Pitman system, which linked shorthand symbols directly to sound, the Gurney system mediated the link through letters—the learner had to memorize symbols which stood for letters rather than for sounds. This essay will argue that Brachygraphy's extra level of alphabetical mediation meant that Gurney shorthand was essentially, and unusually, a creative stenographic system. The nature of the creative language processing implicit in the learning of Gurney shorthand will be described and its implications for Dickens's writing processes will be discussed, drawing on examples which suggest that Gurney stenographic processes were themselves represented in Dickens's fiction and involved in episodes from his life. The overall influence of Gurney shorthand on Dickens's language processing suggests that theories regarding his legacy in relation to \"orality,\" particularly his position and role in \"phonographic\" interpretations of nineteenth-century culture, may have to be reconsidered. At the same time, we should recognize the importance of the Gurney method in influencing Dickens's creative use of language.","PeriodicalId":195639,"journal":{"name":"Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125188619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key element would be careful attention to the implicit existence of characters when they are suspended: either off scene or not the object of direct narration. Seven distinct manifestations appear in the course of the narrative. The resurrection of a presumed-dead character is the most obvious and least common. A second category of suspension is deliberately and teasingly unexplained. For the third category, suspended characters are assumed to be doing their jobs or following known interests. In the fourth category are those characters whose return to scene requires explanation. The fifth category of suspension, the informational, allows characters to discover or withhold information. In the sixth category, suspension is deployed by a character in order to manipulate others. Unique in the last category, Mrs. Gamp's absent friend, Mrs. Harris, exists only in suspension. While some instances may seem contrived or strained, they attest to the virtuosity of Dickens's response to the possibilities of developing characters and plot by means of suspension.","PeriodicalId":195639,"journal":{"name":"Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134274041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Challenge of Female Homoeroticism in Our Mutual Friend 《我们共同的朋友》中女性同性恋的挑战

{"title":"The Challenge of Female Homoeroticism in Our Mutual Friend","authors":"Michael D. Lewis","doi":"10.5325/dickstudannu.48.1.0207","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/dickstudannu.48.1.0207","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Queer studies of the Victorian period have debated female homoeroticism's relationship to heterosexuality. Critics debate whether female dyads contest or support courtship and marriage. For Martha Vicinus, the Victorians saw women's friendships as an \"unnamable threat to social norms,\" while Sharon Marcus contends that they celebrated such relations and that same-sex \"relationships worked in tandem with heterosexual exchange.\" In Our Mutual Friend, Dickens belongs to both camps, showing women's connections as pervasive and disruptive. He celebrates women's erotic friendships precisely because they threaten heterosexual exchange: Abbey Potterson and Jenny Wren seek to protect Lizzie Hexam from her family and suitors; Sophronia Lammle gives Georgiana Podsnap a space away from her father to articulate her own feelings. These relationships that shelter women from heterosexual predation disappear in the novel's second volume. I argue, however, that we shouldn't read this disappearance as the unqualified triumph of normative relations. Mutual attraction continues to flicker—between Jenny and Abbey, Lizzie and Bella Wilfer—and the novel's heroines only accept marriage proposals once suitors cast off predatory designs and demonstrate an affection that resembles that of the female friends who have sustained them throughout the novel.","PeriodicalId":195639,"journal":{"name":"Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122704667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
