In so doing, these novels lay bare the rescue plot at the heart of the heteronormative \"heroine's text,\" in which the ideal rescuer is the would-be husband. The novel's experiments with women as rescuers emerge in the early eighteenth century, intensifies in the Revolutionary period, and ebbs in what we might call the Age of Austen, not least in the novels of Austen herself. Novels of rescue also argue for extending Barbara Johnson's distinction between the lyric and legal person to recognize the economic person, the subject whose agency depends on her means. But the dynamics of same-sex rescue, and the marriage plots with which they engage, also rely on a tacit whiteness that becomes explicit in novels that deny both rescue and marriage to women of color. Moreover, conventional narrative practices such as the representation of interiority obscure the extent to which the \"heroine's plot\" relies on economic and social inequality and the colonialist production of wealth. Interrogating the eighteenth-century European novel through the lens of \"second-sex economics\" thus provides a space for theorizing gender, race, and class, along with the implications of conventional fictional practices.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"12 1","pages":"227 - 244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75467343","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 Incest Plot: Marriage, Closure, and the Novel's Endogamy 乱伦情节:婚姻、结局与小说的内婚制

Removing eligible partners from circulation in courtship, incest scandalizes the marriage plot's heteronormative logic. In lieu of sociable outcomes, incest offers enclosure and insularity, aspects of plot that the essay takes up in a formalist line of inquiry. Since incest privileges efficiency over teleology, it might be considered plot at its most \"perfect,\" a designation Coleridge bestowed on Oedipus Rex and Tom Jones, whose narrative economy cast incest as a logical end of dramatic unity. Threatening narrative collapse in a scandal of sameness, incest in the novel is, as Peter Brooks has written, \"a passion interdicted because its fulfillment would be too perfect.\" Picking up on the oft-noted ubiquity of incest in the eighteenth-century novel in works from Aphra Behn to Ann Radcliffe, the essay turns to examples of ersatz incest in Henry Fielding and Jane Austen to reveal how the incest plot replicates and exaggerates the closure offered by the marriage plot in order to expose its mechanics.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"33 1","pages":"149 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78196579","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}

Analogies from the Vegetable Creation: The Botanical Logic of Edgeworth's Belinda 《植物的创造》中的类比:埃奇沃斯《贝琳达》的植物学逻辑

This is especially true of the novel's treatment of plants. Drawing on the contexts of Maria Edgeworth's own biographical connections to botanists such as her half-brother Michael Pakenham Edgeworth (1812-1881), John Huddlestone Wynne's Fables of Flowers (1773), and Edgeworth's co-authored treatise Practical Education (1798), this essay analyzes the roles of exotic plants in Belinda in order to parse the ways that these living natural objects functioned within and despite networks of empire. The novel's \"botanical logic\" emerges through an application of critical plant studies and object-oriented ontology (OOO) to three of the novel's episodes: the well-known aloe in Lady Delacour's gala; Charles Percival's duckweed; and the extended subplot between Clarence and Virginia. Although Edgeworth's novel settles on an anthropocentric hierarchy placing human over plant, botanical analogies allow Edgeworth's fiction to explore more ecologically equitable ways of seeing the natural world, ones in which natural philosophy offers a new language to describe romantic wonder.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"25 1","pages":"1 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ecy.2020.0007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72540177","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}

Exploring the aesthetics of representation, this article shows that material culture offers not just a chance to rethink the question of cultural representation itself, but also to assess its relation to memory.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"68 1","pages":"73 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86721666","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}

Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur's Letters from An American Farmer, but its structure and thematic concerns parallel those of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Both works chronicle a civil war dividing England; both works are divided into twelve parts; both works describe a nascent paradise; in both works, that paradise is disrupted in the ninth part; and in both works the perpetrators of that Fall metamorphose into snakes during the tenth part. These obvious topical and structural parallels represent a small fraction of the links that connect Crèvecoeur's most famous work to Milton and the epic tradition. Recognizing Milton as a key interlocutor for Letters foregrounds Crèvecoeur's both Loyalist sympathies and his rejection of Christian theodicies.","PeriodicalId":82853,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Voltaire and the eighteenth century","volume":"19 1","pages":"111 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86936557","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}
