Автор: Kyoko Takanashi Название: Limited Access: Transport Metaphors and Realism in the British Novel, 1740-1860 ISBN: 0813947588 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780813947587 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 33020.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A recurrent trope in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British fiction compares reading to traveling and asserts that the pleasures of novel-reading are similar to the joys of a carriage journey. Kyoko Takanashi points to how these narratives also, however, draw attention to the limits of access often experienced in travel, and she demonstrates the ways in which the realist novel, too, is marked by issues of access both symbolic and material. Limited Access draws on media studies and the history of books and reading to bring to life a history of realism concerned with the inclusivity of readers. Examining works by Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, and George Eliot, Takanashi shows how novelists employed metaphors of transport to constantly reassess what readers could and could not access. She gives serious attention to marginalized readers figured within the text, highlighting their importance and how writers were concerned about the "limited access" of readers to their novels. Discussions of transport allowed novelists to think about mediation, and, as this study shows, these concerns about access became part of the rise of the novel and the history of realism in a way that literary history has not yet recognized.

Описание: Eighteenth-century philosophy owes much to the early novel. Using the figure of the romance reader this book tells a new story of eighteenth-century reading. The impressionable mind and mutable identity of the romance reader haunt eighteenth-century definitions of the self, and the seductions of fiction insist on making an appearance in philosophy.

Автор: Lucinda Cole Название: Imperfect Creatures: Vermin, Literature, and the Sciences of Life, 1600–1740 ISBN: 0472072951 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780472072958 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Цена: 66530.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Lucinda Cole’s Imperfect Creatures offers the first full-length study of the shifting, unstable, but foundational status of “vermin” as creatures and category in the early modern literary, scientific, and political imagination. In the space between theology and an emergent empiricism, Cole’s argument engages a wide historical swath of canonical early modern literary texts alongside other nonliterary primary sources (including under-examined archival materials) from the period, including: William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Macbeth, Christopher Marlowe’s The Jew of Malta, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Journal of the Plague Year, Giambattista Della Porta’s Natural Magick, William Harvey’s Anatomical Exercises on the Generation of Animals; Thomas Willis’ Cerebri Anatome and Of the Soul of Brutes, and Robert Boyle’s Free Inquiry into the Vulgarly Receiv’d Notion of Nature.As Cole illustrates, human health and demographic problems—notably those of feeding populations periodically stricken by hunger, disease, and famine—were tied to larger questions about food supplies, property laws, national identity, even the theological imperatives that underwrote humankind's claim to dominion over the animal kingdom. In this context, Cole’s study indicates, so-called “vermin” occupied liminal spaces between subject and object, nature and animal, animal and the devil, the devil and disease—even reason and madness. This verminous discourse formed a foundational category used to carve out humankind’s relationship to an unpredictable, a-rational natural world, but it evolved into a form for thinking about not merely animals but anything that threatened the health of the body politic—humans, animals, and even thoughts.
