I argue that this indeterminacy is a crucial insight into the etiological and ethical questions at the novel’s core. Drawing from debates in early nineteenth-century medicine, Shelley’s representation of pandemic indexes the living body’s contingency—its indefinite yet continuous exposure to other potentially infectious bodies and environments. Shelley’s approach to contingent embodiment intervenes in the Romantic-era reception of vitalism, particularly Baruch Spinoza’s vitalist ontology of interconnection. Pandemic in The Last Man troubles the Romantic ethical idealization of interconnection, illustrating the potential for life’s contingencies to hurt connected bodies, and especially bodies of color, which are unrecognized by that ethical ideal and disproportionately exposed to sickness and pain.","PeriodicalId":46490,"journal":{"name":"ELH","volume":"19 1","pages":"689 - 718"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85008103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nets emerges from the avant-garde tradition of erasure poetics, yet it relies on and revives the temporal and material complexities of early modern textual practices. Further, it articulates its own position within literary history in distinctly Shakespearean terms, as a hinge between pre-modern and modern poetics. This essay argues that Nets both is and is not an early-modern object. It articulates a chiastic repetition of the Sonnets: repeating the past yet sustaining its difference.","PeriodicalId":46490,"journal":{"name":"ELH","volume":"16 1","pages":"489 - 522"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80225089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay builds on that work by exploring realism's relation to voyeurism and exhibitionism. In particular, I examine Willa Cather's \"Coming, Aphrodite\" (1920), her most sexually explicit story, which turns on the discovery of a peephole. I emplace this story within Cather's career, arguing that the figure of the peephole is prevalent throughout her early work and is foundational to her sense of realism. In doing so, I argue that Cather's models of voyeurism and exhibitionism diverge dramatically from that of contemporary sexologists","PeriodicalId":46490,"journal":{"name":"ELH","volume":"39 1","pages":"463 - 487"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76742688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a dichotomy that appears to privilege an ethical schema that is ideal, theoretic, and reflective alongside a prose style that is impersonal, emphatic, and also reflective. In this article, I show that the moral economy of the novel is, in fact, quick to display the limitations of departicularized and abstract moral thinking, and that Richardson invites his reader's suspicion of modes of reading and writing that would circumvent the linearity and particularity of story. I conclude by demonstrating that Richardson uses the italic character–particularly in the third edition of the novel–not to stress the maxim-like neutrality of moral truths, but to illuminate the expressive multivalence associated with this typography.","PeriodicalId":46490,"journal":{"name":"ELH","volume":"7 1","pages":"407 - 435"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72788842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Together, they depict England's communal crisis—civil war—as a crisis of Communion; eucharistic sacrilege collapses a sacramental ontology, which in turn breaks mechanisms of atonement, fragments society, and corrupts signification. Appropriately, Richmond effectuates England's communal regeneration by restoring this sacramental ontology through real, sincere eucharistic participation at the conclusion of Richard III. This reading challenges interpretations that hold that the second tetralogy unravels the providentialist conclusion of the first, or which treat the plays as discrete episodes.","PeriodicalId":46490,"journal":{"name":"ELH","volume":"1 1","pages":"317 - 343"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83728652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focusing on the debut collections of two young poets, Joshua Ip and Hamid Roslan, we argue that the presence of Singlish in their work functions as a site of hermeneutical openness that challenges a neocolonial articulation of Singaporean cultural formations centered on ideologies of standardized English usage, which have homogenized ethnic identities and supported a narrative of national progress. This article theorizes the heteroglossic potentialities of the intersubjective lifeworld found in Ip's and Hamid's poetics by discussing how they eschew any naturalized relationship between language as a semiotic system and sociohistorical being, in favor of a renewed query into Anglophone writing as an accumulation of asymmetrical and uneasy cultural relations.","PeriodicalId":46490,"journal":{"name":"ELH","volume":"118 1","pages":"547 - 573"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79940095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
