  • Introduction: the Royal Character in the Public Imagination 1
    Notes Introduction: The Royal Character in the Public Imagination 1. I use the words “royal” and “monarch” (and their variants, “royalty,” “monarchy,” “monarchical,” etc.) interchangeably. By the late eigh- teenth century both terms in common usage referred equally to kings and to those who ruled (queens, regents). “Royal” also referred, and still does, to near relatives of the monarch, as in “royal family,” and I use it in this sense also. 2. Austen’s conservatism is famously unstable. Feminist critics espe- cially have suggested that a feminist subtext undercuts or at least tempers the conservative trajectories of her novels. In Equivocal Beings, Claudia Johnson provides a comprehensive discussion of the conservative reading of Emma as well as its implicit feminist critique (192–96). 3. Unlike Pride and Prejudice, in which she was revising an earlier draft, Austen wrote Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion after 1810. She began writing Mansfield Park in February 1811, the same month in which the Regency began (Sturrock 30; see also Tomalin 223–24). 4. Clara Tuite suggests that Mansfield Park can be read as “a provincial deflection of the wider national issues of responsible hereditary gov- ernment” (Romantic Austen 132). 5. The phrase “Queen Caroline affair” historically refers to the events of 1820 and 1821, when the uncrowned King attempted to divorce his wife by Act of Parliament. Although Caroline was technically Queen, supporters of the new King used a variety of means, some political, some rhetorical, to contest her legitimacy. Similarities as well as an evident continuity between this episode and the Prince’s first attempt to obtain a divorce, some fifteen years earlier, have often led scholars to refer to their marital disputes before, during, and after the Regency as the Queen Caroline affair.

  • Defining John Bull: Political Caricature and National Identity in Late Georgian England
    Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) Defining John Bull: Political Caricature and National Identity in Late Georgian England Review Number: 360 Publish date: Saturday, 1 November, 2003 Author: Tamara Hunt ISBN: 1840142685 Date of Publication: 2003 Price: £57.50 Pages: 452pp. Publisher: Ashgate Publisher url: https://www.ashgate.com/default.aspx?page=637&calcTitle=1&title_id=1454&edition_id=1525 Place of Publication: Aldershot Reviewer: David Johnson The period between 1760 and 1820 was the golden age of British pictorial satire. But only in the last 20 years have the artists and their work attracted serious study in their own right. Rather than being seen as attractive but essentially incidental illustrations for the study of British society and politics, political and social caricatures are now analysed in depth as both a reflection of, and sometimes a formative influence upon, public opinion. Increasingly their propagandist role as tools in the hands of national government or opposition is recognised. The creators of what are often highly sophisticated and intricate images are now regarded as serious artists, and the importance of their place in the political and social world of the time recognised. The setting up of a national centre in Britain for the study of cartoons and caricature at the University of Kent at Canterbury (see http://library.kent.ac.uk/cartoons [2]) and the major James Gillray exhibition at the Tate Gallery in 2001 (see http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/gillray/ [3]) have set the agenda, while Diana Donald's The Age of Caricature: Satirical Prints in the Reign of George III (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1996) is currently the seminal text.

  • Caricature in the Novel, 1740-1840 a Dissertation Submitted in Part
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Sentiment and Laughter: Caricature in the Novel, 1740-1840 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Leigh-Michil George 2016 © Copyright by Leigh-Michil George 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Sentiment and Laughter: Caricature in the Novel, 1740-1840 by Leigh-Michil George Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Jonathan Hamilton Grossman, Co-Chair Professor Felicity A. Nussbaum, Co-Chair This dissertation examines how late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British novelists—major authors, Laurence Sterne and Jane Austen, and lesser-known writers, Pierce Egan, Charles Jenner, and Alexander Bicknell—challenged Henry Fielding’s mid-eighteenth-century critique of caricature as unrealistic and un-novelistic. In this study, I argue that Sterne, Austen, Egan, and others translated visual tropes of caricature into literary form in order to make their comic writings appear more “realistic.” In doing so, these authors not only bridged the character-caricature divide, but a visual- verbal divide as well. As I demonstrate, the desire to connect caricature with character, and the visual with the verbal, grew out of larger ethical and aesthetic concerns regarding the relationship between laughter, sensibility, and novelistic form. ii This study begins with Fielding’s Joseph Andrews (1742) and its antagonistic stance towards caricature and the laughter it evokes, a laughter that both Fielding and William Hogarth portray as detrimental to the knowledge of character and sensibility. My second chapter looks at how, increasingly, in the late eighteenth century tears and laughter were integrated into the sentimental experience.

  • The King Falls Into the Hands Ofcaricature
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Kremers, Anorthe ; Reich, Elisabeth (Hrsgg.): Loyal subversion? Caricatures from the Personal Union between England and Hanover (1714-1837), Göttingen 2014, S. 11-34 Werner Busch The King Falls into the Hands of Caricature. Hanoverians in England Durch die Hinrichtung Karls I. auf Veranlassung Cromwells im Jahr 1649 wurde das Gottesgnadentum des Konigs ein erstes Mai in Frage gestellt. Als nach dem Tod von Queen Anne 1714 die Hannoveraner auf den englischen Thron kamen, galten diese den Englandern als Fremdlinge. 1760 wurde mit Georg III. zudem ein psychisch labiler, spater geisteskranker Konig Regent. Als 1792 der franzdsische Konig Ludwig XVI. inhaftiert und spater hingerichtet wurde, musste das Konigtum generell um seinen Fortbestand fiirchten. In dieser Situation bemdchtigte sich die englische Karikatur endgilltig auch der koniglichen Person. Wie es schrittweise dazu kam und welche Rolle diesfilr das konig- liche Portrat gespielt hat, wird in diesem Beitragzu zeigen sein. If I were to ask you how you would define the genre of caricature, then you would perhaps answer, after brief reflection that Caricature is basically a drawing reproduced in newspapers or magazines that comments ironically on political or social events in narrative form and both satirises the protagonists shown there by exaggerating their features and body shapes on the one hand and by reducing them at the same time to a few typical characteristics on the other hand characterising them unmistakably. Perhaps you would then add that the few typical characteristics of well-known peo­ ple become binding stereotypes in the course of time and as such are sufficient to let the person become instantly recognisable.

Through the analysis of literary texts and visual art, a better understanding of the social perception of women in this time period can be achieved. Sources like novels, narratives, newspaper accounts, prints, etchings, and sculptures are used to show a distinct dichotomy in the portrayals of French women. In the artistic work from Britain, Ireland, Germany, and France, women who were active participants in the revolutionary proceedings were disparaged for being violent and ruthless, while women who were limited to the private sphere where glorified as mothers and moral anchors. Additionally, this essay argues that the inclusion of creative texts, such as these, is important for developing a more complete view of social ideas in historical periods.
