Sarah Fielding's Double Stratagem in The Lives of Cleopatra and Octavia
Abstract:The Lives of Cleopatra and Octavia is not simply a fanciful delivering of history but also a clever interrogation of biography and fiction. A narratological analysis of Sarah Fielding's introduction and The Lives reveals how Fielding's adaptation is simultaneously true and untrue, and how she subtly parallels her authorial practice with Cleopatra's contrivances. Fielding's constant elision among author, subject, and genres reveals the unsettling, yet alluring, power of fiction, and of prose narrative generally. Exposing the false dialectic between biography and fiction, Fielding challenges readers to judge the eponymous women, her own artful performances, and the purported dialectic between fiction and history.
期刊介绍:
SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
