Middleton IV DEDICATIONS to myfamily for their support to Alan for his spirit to The M. G. core for their esprit de corps v ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on Jane Austen's representations of women in her five principal novels. I associate Austen's delineations of women as subjects with her own changing sense of identity as she become an author of a certain popularity and confidence, although unidentified throughout her career. I begin with Austen's attempts to work within eighteenth-century aesthetics and genres which were for the most part founded on sentimental representations of women that privileged the visible, or specular, dimensions of their subjectivity. Following Austen's movement through the discursive tields determined by the various traditional genres--the history or bildungsroman, the gothic, the romance, and the novel of psychological realism--I approach each novel as a fairly fresh negotiation of a given generic form. I suggest a "progress," though not necessarily a teleology, in her aesthetic innovations and strategies of women's representation. My critique traces narrative patterns and motifs that refer the reader back to a notion of the woman writer emerging from anonymity into authority. Austen's movement away from positing women's subjectivity based on specular and social identity in her novels, toward a more mutable, t1uid paradigm of "self," was coincident with her personal sense of "authority" as a writer. The increasing sureness of her own writerly "I" coincided with her renovation of an aesthetic based on the "eye," and her discovery of generic fields more friendly to the representation of the many dimensions of women's identities, including "body" as more than a specular icon, and "voice" as a phenomenon incorporated in the text as "body." vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract v Introduction Eye to "I": Articulating the Terms 1 Chapter One The Anxious Aesthetic of Northanger Abbey: Catherine Morland's "Unpractised Eye" 10 Chapter Two "Pictures of Perfection": The Specular Dialectic in Pride and Prejudice 38 Chapter Three Mansfield Park: The Heroine in History . 71 Chapter Four The Subject of Desire: Emma 118 Chapter Five Her Subject's Voice? The Case of Anne E. 159 *** Notes 187 Works Cited 236 INTRODUCTION Eye to "I": Articulating the Terms A critique of how an author works through her fictions to articulate a subjectivity may seem an outdated project, or at least a nostalgic one, in a period when the integrity of the subject is being actively contested. Such projects are usually forgiven however, when the "subject" or author in question is, like Jane Austen, writing at a historical distance from the modern (or post-modern) crises of identity. Most canonical Austen criticism comfortably addresses her technique in representing coherently articulated subjects, and even praises or takes her to task for her various efforts. Thus, Emma Woodhouse and Anne Elliot receive general applause, though Elizabeth Bennet is typically the favorite. By critical consensus, Catherine Morland is too early and parodic a sketch of a heroine; Elinor and Marianne Dashwood appear to be a strangely fractured version of one. And Fanny Price, almost without fail, is condemned as a thoroughgoing disappointment, hardly believable as being Austen's creation. Updating these classical critiques alters these judgments somewhat--most notably those concerning Fanny, which have become more favorable as critics have become more liberal about what is acceptably "Austenian." What underlies all of these critical responses. however, is an unstated concept of Austen herself, My own examination of Jane Austen as a woman writer who answers the challenge of self-articulation in representing all of her heroines leans heavily on a 2 notion of Austen as well. I would like however to distinguish my work from biographical criticism, per se, in both its Freudian forms--although I do at times deploy Freudian analysis--and the current materialist and historicist agendas. Austen's life, her social, economic and family circumstances, are of interest; but even now details on her efforts to write and be published are almost inaccessible. The early drafts of her novels, her writing habits, or correspondence about her notions of fiction-writing are virtually nonexistent. 1 I am therefore concentrating on the skeletal records of her publishing activities, consisting mostly of a few of her own or her family's letters, and the relevant speculations of biographers, supported somewhat with recent historical research on women's authorship during Austen's time. I will argue that Austen's sporadically successful, and disappointing, forays into print do seem to correspond to the varied character of each novel's articulation. As Austen struggled to get herself published and read, the novels themselves seem to shift slowly in their aesthetics, but also in the nature of the "solutions" provided for each heroine at novel's end. These shifts are of course not purely personal. While describing Austen's move from eighteenth-century mimesis, primarily specular.' to nineteenth-century psychological realism, intlected by Romanticism and representations of interiority, I ani obviously echoing a number of time-honored accounts of this period of literary history. However, it is a commonplace that Austen negotiated these movements in a highly specific manner, with some critics celebrating her "individuality" or "genius" so adamantly, that they paradoxically depersonalize her as they seem to free her from the contingencies of 3 historical/social context or contemporary constructs of gender.' Contemporary criticism has often countered this "modernist" Austen, with a degree of "contextualizing," or grounding that eclipses any account of the specific aesthetic innovations that cannot be explained through appeals to the techniques' of other contemporary women novelists, or as mere parodic responses to masculine texts. In Austen's case, the famous feminist byline, "the personal is the political" can be further qualified by saying that "the personal is the aesthetic." Though the sketchy dating of the "originals" and "revisions" of her three earliest novels is unsettling, it is possible I believe to explore the changing "fields" of Austen's experiments in women's representation without insisting on a teleology of her artistic growth. When working in a predominantly 18th-century mimetic vein, Austen struggles to "ground" her heroines in something distinct from their specular identity. In Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, she plays off the specular in a way that betrays her consciousness of how inadequate that mode is for the representation of woman's subjectivity. In this light, Elizabeth Bennet is perhaps the quintessential Austen heroine because she seems to avoid being defined by her appearance or specular identity, to master the talent of the specular herself, and to make it her vehicle for "apprehending" and "appropriating" the beautifully ordered universe of Pemberley and its specularly-impressive master. Elizabeth's specular contest is, however, not quite this self-evident. Even at this early stage, Austen in her way notably juxtaposes beauty and wit, the visible and the vocal, and the ground of the body and the ground of property, but further complicates matters 4 by considering these oppositions in con-text-vthe literal "text" which represents the limits of a writer's representation. The ultimate "field" for Austen's experimentation is mapped out in her manipulations of genre. Commonly discussed as parodic gestures, these shapings are also part of Austen's explorations of different "grounds" or "fields" for the articulation of women's subjectivity. Many critics see Norrhanger Abbey, for instance, as an early "comedy of manners" invaded or flawed by the alien form of the Gothic. My analysis of Northanger draws on recent feminist criticism which discusses the long-maligned Gothic as a politically-relevant genre with special connections to the themes of victimage and the repression of women.

  • Twenty-Four Unusual Stories for Boys and Girls
    Twenty-Four Unusual Stories For Boys And Girls By Anna Cogswell Tyler Twenty-Four Unusual Stories For Boys And Girls THE CONVENT FREE FROM CARE ONCE when the Emperor Charles V was traveling in the country, he saw a convent, and in passing by a little door he read this strange inscription: "Here you live without a care." The Emperor was very surprised and could scarcely believe his eyes. "It seems to me an impossibility," he thought; "does some one really exist on earth who is free from care? As Emperor I am overwhelmed with troubles, while here in this convent, which is a little kingdom in itself, one would have nothing to worry about. I cannot believe it." Immediately on setting foot in the village inn, the Emperor sent the hostess to fetch the Abbot of this singular convent. You can imagine what a state of mind the latter was in when he heard he was summoned to the Emperor's presence. "What have I done to displease him?" he asked himself. On the way he examined his conscience over and over again, and he could think of no fault of which he was guilty. "I am in troubled waters; I must steer my way through," he said. When he was in the Emperor's presence, the latter expressed his astonishment of what he had read. The Abbot now knew why he had been summoned, and smiled. "Sir," said he, "does that astonish you? However, it is very simple; we eat, we drink, we sleep, and worry over nothing." "Well, Reverend Abbot, that state of things must come to an end," said the Emperor, "and in order that you may have your share of trouble, I command you to bring me to-morrow the answers to the three following questions: "First, What is the depth of the sea? "Secondly, How many cows' tails would it take to measure the distance between the earth and the sun? "Thirdly, What am I thinking about? "Try to please me or I shall exact a penalty from you." On hearing these words, the Abbot returned to his convent with a heavy heart.

    THE SEMINAR OF JACQUES LACAN BOOK VIII Transference 1960 - 1961 Translated by Cormac Gallagher from unedited French typescripts FOR PRIVATE USE ONLY http://www.lacaninireland.com Book VIII Seminar 1 16 November 1960 Seminar 1: Wednesday 16 November 1960 I announced for this coming year that I would deal with transference, with its subjective oddity (sa disparite subjective). It is not a term that was easily chosen. It underlines essentially something which goes further than the simple notion of asymmetry between subjects. It poses in the very title... it rebels, as I might say from the beginning, against the idea that intersubjectivity can by itself alone provide the framework in which the phenomenon is inscribed. There are words which are more or less appropriate in different tongues. I am looking for some equivalent for the word impair, for the subjective oddity of transference, for the oddity that it contains essentially. There is no term, except the very term imparite which is not used in French, to designate it. "In its supposed situation" (dans sa pretendue situation) my title also says, indicating by that some reference to this effort over the last years in analysis to organise, around the notion of situation, what happens in analytic treatment. The very word supposed is there again to say that I dispute the validity of, or at least that I take up a corrective position with respect to this effort. I do not believe that one can say purely and simply about psychoanalysis that what we have here is a situation. If it is one, it is one of which one could also say: it is not a situation or again, that it is a false situation.

  • A Family Affair by Guy De Maupassant Translated by Albert M.C. Mcmaster
    A Family Affair by Guy de Maupassant translated by Albert M.C. McMaster The small engine attached to the Neuilly steam-tram whistled as it passed the Porte Maillot to warn all obstacles to get out of its way and puffed like a person out of breath as it sent out its steam, its pistons moving rapidly with a noise as of iron legs running. The train was going along the broad avenue that ends at the Seine. The sultry heat at the close of a July day lay over the whole city, and from the road, although there was not a breath of wind stirring, there arose a white, chalky, suffocating, warm dust, which adhered to the moist skin, filled the eyes and got into the lungs. People stood in the doorways of their houses to try and get a breath of air. The windows of the steam-tram were open and the curtains fluttered in the wind. There were very few passengers inside, because on warm days people preferred the outside or the platforms. They consisted of stout women in peculiar costumes, of those shopkeepers' wives from the suburbs, who made up for the distinguished looks which they did not possess by ill-assumed dignity; of men tired from office-work, with yellow faces, stooped shoulders, and with one shoulder higher than the other, in consequence of, their long hours of writing at a desk. Their uneasy and melancholy faces also spoke of domestic troubles, of constant want of money, disappointed hopes, for they all belonged to the army of poor, threadbare devils who vegetate economically in cheap, plastered houses with a tiny piece of neglected garden on the outskirts of Paris, in the midst of those fields where night soil is deposited.

  • A Story of Secession Days in Texas and Bitter Experiences of Union Sympathizers in Civil War Days
    A STORY OF SECESSION DAYS IN TEXAS AND BITTER EXPERIENCES OF UNION SYMPATHIZERS IN CIVIL WAR DAYS AS TOLD BY A MICHIGAN WOMAN PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF MRS. C.C. HAMPTON NOTE BY HER SON: When I was a boy teasing for "stories" my chief de- light was to get mother started to tell the "Story of Texas." Later in life when I had sons of my own, my mother came to stay in our home after father died, for some time, it was her grandsons who thrilled over the hair-raising incidents, as did I myself. I wished to make a permanent record of these experiences, and so while Mother retold the story to my boys, I took down in shorthand the words just as they came from my mother's mouth, that my grandchildren and great- grandchildren might also know that the women who helped build up the great West, were not the only ones of heroic build. It is a simple tale, told in simple words, yet filled with a fierce interest that always riveted the intense interest of every listener, old as well as young. Will Hampton 78 FROM MICHIGAN TO TEXAS We started from Lenawee County, Michigan the first of October, 1858 with three horse teams and drove as far as St. Louis, MO., where the roads became so bad that we took the teams and went on board a freight boat and went down the Mississippi to a place called Gaines Landing, and there we started and drove across Arkansas and arrived at Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County, Tex., the last of October.
