On one hand, Goldsmith's allusion to Alexander Pope's Eloisa to Abelard reveals what might seem to be a fantasy, even in the later eighteenth century: namely, that one can escape environmental crises. On the other hand, when Goldsmith directs his readers to Joseph Addison's Cato, he identifies a work that exemplified environmental trauma in the eighteenth century. Cato describes how interlopers in North Africa encounter extreme weather that simultaneously operates as a surrogate for the resistance of \"exotic\" subjects and as a reminder that Europeans will never grasp their surroundings and therefore do not belong there, at least if they harbor the standard colonial attitudes that would efface the other. Goldsmith's allusion to this 1713 play, then, reinforces how environmental disasters triggered by Europeans get displaced abroad—and at home. At least for Goldsmith, though, allusions can point to cultural aporias that need to be resolved in order to address climate change.","PeriodicalId":39439,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eighteenth Century Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45270428","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}

Inviting Conflict: Slavery and Charlotte Smith's Biographical Aesthetic 引发冲突：奴隶制与夏洛特·史密斯的传记美学

In prologues and prefaces, which engendered both sympathy and derision, Smith decries her position as a wronged wife and highlights her devotion as a working mother. Similarly suffering, saintly wives and abusive husbands populate her fiction, while the speakers of her popular Elegiac Sonnets bemoan their tragic lot. Critics still follow the author's invitation. However, what do we do when the facts of a biography unsettle the aesthetic project supposedly based on it? This essay tackles this question by arguing that while Smith uses the figure of the slave in her writing as a rhetorical and aesthetic device to emphasize the often gendered injustice she faced, both her 1796 novel Marchmont and her letters reveal how the pathos produced by this figure collides with the monetary potential of enslaved persons' labor. Smith's antislavery views appear in her poetry and novels, such as Marchmont, in which the title character is imprisoned for debt and describes himself as a slave; however, it is income from enslaved persons that ultimately enables his freedom. A similar irony reappears four years after Marchmont's publication, when Smith negotiated the sale of a Barbados estate owned by a family trust. This essay asks how far Smith's apparent invitation to read autobiographically really goes and how, as critics, we should grapple with this approach when it produces conflicting accounts not only in her literary texts, but also within her biography itself.","PeriodicalId":39439,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eighteenth Century Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43764011","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}

These electronic resources are not simply a panacea in precarious times, however; they are the product of a global information economy that depends on uncredited, invisible, and underpaid labor. The academic humanities are complicit in exploiting and erasing these technology workers, as a growing body of investigative research has shown. This essay contributes a new case study of an offshore outsourcing project commissioned by and for eighteenth-century scholars: the digitization of The London Stage, 1660–1800 by China Data Systems Corporation in 1970. That electronic transcription, which continues to underpin the present-day London Stage Database, was performed by women keypunchers whose labor was systematically feminized, racialized, and devalued in advertisements and corporate media. Drawing connections to the rhetoric around projects like Google Books and the Text Creation Partnership today, I highlight the recurrent figure of the hand and its vexed role in policing the boundaries between agential and alienated labor. Turning to the period that gave rise to contemporary understandings of intellectual property, I conclude by examining a receipt recording three copyright sales between Susanna Centlivre and Edmund Curll. In this ephemeral manuscript, I find a story richly suggestive of how we might reimagine scholarly labor and knowledge work in our moment of technocapitalism.","PeriodicalId":39439,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eighteenth Century Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48265262","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}

Love songs covered a wide range of subjects, with advice that a man or a woman could follow from the earliest stages of courtship to the later stages of a marriage. Other songs were explicit and erotic, introducing the singer or listener to aspects of sexual conduct and intercourse that might inform or caution them on how to behave. This essay compares eighteenth-century song culture to the didactic purposes of conduct books and erotic literature in the eighteenth century. I argue that by purchasing and performing songs, men and women learned new ways of engaging with the opposite sex across a variety of social contexts. As England's attitude towards courtship, marriage, and sex continued to change in the early eighteenth century, song culture connected men and women to the realities of courtship through the performance of shared emotion that elaborated upon their personal experiences. Love songs helped men and women navigate the tensions between their own desire and the behavioral rules and limitations placed on each sex.","PeriodicalId":39439,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Eighteenth Century Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45604343","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}
