"Incomprehensible Contexture[s]": Laurence Sterne and David Hume on Entanglement
Abstract:This article takes Laurence Sterne and David Hume as two extreme cases of how writers think, feel, and write about the figure and concept of entanglement in the late Enlightenment. The late Enlightenment was an era defined, or so I claim, by an intense investment in and anxiety over relations—among people, objects, ideas, systems, and events. More than any other figure, entanglement registers that simultaneous interest in and aversion to connections. Reading between Sterne—an arch-entangler—and Hume—an arch-separator—we see not only an old trope suddenly taking on new meaning, but also a fraught transition from the Enlightenment to Romanticism.
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.
