内容説明

'Desire and Domestic Fiction' argues that, far from being removed from historical events, novels by writers from Richardson to Virginia Woolf were themselves agents of the rise of the middle class. A very original treatment of the rise of the novel, it makes an interesting contribution to feminst theory, to the understanding of the role of gender in culture and its relation to political change, and to studies in the history of the British novel. Readership: students of English literature and literary theory.

内容説明

In this strikingly original treatment of the rise of the novel, Nancy Armstrong argues that the novels and non- fiction written by and for women in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England paved the way for the rise of the modern English middle class. Most critical studies of the novel mistakenly locate political power exclusively in the official institutions of state, ignoring the political domain over which women hold authority, which includes courtship practices, family relations, and the use of leisure time. To remedy this, Armstrong provides a dual analysis, tracing both the rise of the novel and the evolution of female authority as part of one phenomenon.
