  • A Case for Hard-Heartedness: Clarissa, Indifferency, Impersonality
    A Case for Hard-heartedness: Clarissa, Indifferency, Impersonality Wendy Anne Lee !"#$%!&$ Reading Clarissa’s hard-heartedness through the lens of indif- fer ency clari!es what is at stake in her still-puzzling and multi- layered defection. "e phenomenon of hard-heartedness in Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa is here re-evaluated through John Locke’s concept of “indi#er ency” and through contemporary theories of impersonality. Beginning with an account of the novel’s reception in which readers were unnerved by Clarissa’s refusal to marry her rapist, I locate an important counter-response in Anna Laetitia Barbauld, who valued precisely the quality of impassivity in Richardson’s heroine. In eighteenth-century thought, a similar form of disen gagement is articulated by Locke’s notion of indi#erency, an impartiality that risks alienation for the sake of understanding and autonomy. By featuring an im personal Clarissa, I show how the novel’s theory of character, in which a hidden interiority under writes personhood, contains its own critique of a depth- model of psychology. I conclude by examin ing a phase of Clarissa’s narrative not o$en discussed: her life as an urban rape sur vivor, an incarnation that o#ers the most chal leng ing as well as the most promising possibilities for the impersonal person in the novel. !'$()% Wendy Anne Lee is an assistant professor in the English Depart- ment at Yale University.

  • Pamela, Anti-Pamela, and the Tradition of Women's Amatory Fiction
    NTU Studies in Language and Literature 107 Number 21 (June 2009), 107-144 Influence or “Influenza”? Pamela, Anti-Pamela, and the Tradition of Women’s Amatory Fiction Jing-fen Su Ph. D. Student, Graduate Institute of Foreign Languages and Literatures National Taiwan University ABSTRACT The publication of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela in November 1740 was an immediate success, and the frenzy over the immensely popular novel quickly developed into an unprecedented sensational event commonly called “the Pamela controversy.” Among the very first literary responses to the Pamela vogue are Henry Fielding’s Shamela (April 1741) and Eliza Haywood’s Anti-Pamela (June 1741), published within less than two months from each other. A closer look at the three novels, however, reveals that Haywood’s Anti-Pamela is curiously closer in style to Richardson’s Pamela than to Fielding’s Shamela, despite the fact that both Fielding and Haywood aim at attacking Richardson with their parodic novels. As one of the first attempts to deal with the intertextual influences between Richardson’s Pamela and Haywood’s much neglected work Anti-Pamela, in this essay I argue that the similarity in style between the two texts comes not from Haywood’s imitating Richardson, but rather from Richardson’s incorporating elements from the tradition of women’s amatory fiction, of which Haywood’s works in the 1720s constitute a significant part. In other words, despite his consistent disparagement of such writings by women as “influenza,” Richardson’s text betrays his indebtedness to Haywood, and in composing Anti-Pamela, Haywood does not depart much from her earlier novelistic style, thus leading to the false impression that Haywood is following Richardson in style.

  • Microfilms Internationa! 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Richardson, who was his own printer, revised Pamela eight times over twenty years, the sequel three times, and the majority of the variants have hitherto suffered from critical neglect. Because it is well known that Richardson responded to friendly and antagonistic “collaborators” by making emendations, I also examine the extant documents that played a role in Pamela’s development, including Richardson’s correspondence and contemporary criticisms of the novel. Pamela Reworded, then, is an explanation, exhibition, and interpretation of what Richardson revised, why he revised, and, more importantly, how the revisions affect one’s understanding of the novel and its characters.

  • A Spatial History of English Novels 1680-1770
    A Spatial History of English Novels 1680-1770 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mary Jo Crone-Romanovski, M. A. English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Roxann Wheeler, Advisor Frank Donoghue David Brewer Copyright by Mary Jo Crone-Romanovski 2010 Abstract This dissertation provides a spatial history of English novels in the period 1680- 1770. Demonstrating that space is a dynamic source of narrative, I argue that spaces are crucial to the development of new types of novels. Re-organizing novel history according to space allows me to consider eighteenth-century novel types as standalone genres rather than progressive steps toward the formation of the novel as one single, coherent genre. Thus, a spatial history of novels differs from conventional literary histories which situate major novels and authors within a linear model of chronological development and that view eighteenth-century novels as preliminary formal experiments that eventually contribute to the emergence of the nineteenth-century realist novel. Space can register in novels in a number of ways, including geographical distance, topographical location, descriptors of movement, or architectural layout. My study considers, in particular, the spaces that constitute a character‟s immediate physical environment. Each chapter examines a key space as central to a type of novel that flourished during the eighteenth century: gardens in amatory and pious novels, 1680- 1730; staircases, hallways, and closets in the domestic interior in courtship novels of the 1740s; urban homes in mid-century problem marriage novels; and sickrooms in women‟s sentimental novels of the 1750s and 1760s.

  • Barbauld's Richardson
    Barbauld‟s Richardson and the Canonisation of Personal Character On 4 September 1804, Richard Lovell Edgeworth wrote to Anna Letitia Barbauld to acquaint her with the attention that her recent edition of The Correspondence of Samuel Richardson (1804) had received in the Edgeworth household: We have read the greatest part of Richardson‟s Life and Correspondence. Your criticisms are excellent, and your censures of the indecent passages in your author are highly becoming and highly useful. You have made R[ichardson] appear to great advantage, without using any of the unfaithful arts of an editor. You have shewn, that like other mortals, he had failings; but his enthusiasm for virtue, his generosity, and true politeness of heart and conduct, are brought so distinctly before the eye, that we love the man as much as we admire the author.1 Loving “the man” and admiring “the author” here appear as complementary responses in the Edgeworth family‟s reading experience, a complementarity that is reflected in Richard Edgeworth‟s views on Barbauld‟s literary and biographical criticisms. In Edgeworth‟s reading of the “Life and Correspondence,” the author and his novels merge, as do Barbauld‟s evaluations of Richardson‟s biographical and fictional narratives. Edgeworth thus shows himself a judicious 1. Anna Letitia Le Breton, Memoir of Mrs. Barbauld, Including Letters and Notices of Her Family and Friends (London, 1874), 94-5; my thanks to Elizabeth Heckendorn Cook for alerting me to this letter. From Richard Edgeworth‟s comment in the same letter that the Correspondence “came to our hands long after Maria had written to you” (92) it appears that the Edgeworths probably acquired the six volumes in August 1804: “long” after Maria Edgeworth‟s previous letter to Barbauld (22 July) but with enough time for the family to read “the greatest part of Richardson‟s Life and Correspondence” before Richard Edgeworth wrote to Barbauld (4 September), assuming that Le Breton‟s dating in the Memoir is reliable.

    Truth and Conjecture: Forms of Detection in Eighteenth-Century British Fiction Rashmi Sahni Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Rashmi Sahni All rights reserved ABSTRACT Truth and Conjecture: Forms of Detection in Eighteenth-Century British Fiction Rashmi Sahni This study tracks tensions between different modes of knowledge in a body of eighteenth-century fictions centered around themes of detection and punishment of crimes, exemplary among which are Aphra Behn’s The History of the Nun (1689), Daniel Defoe’s Roxana (1724), Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa (1748), Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones (1749), and William Godwin’s Caleb Williams (1794). Focusing on crimes as varied as forgery, rape, and murder, this set of fictions raises important questions about eighteenth-century narrative techniques and formal elements. For example, why is the narrator of Aphra Behn’s The History of the Nun at once omniscient and limited? Why does the ending of Defoe’s Roxana seem abrupt and inconclusive? Critics struggle to find satisfactory answers to these questions because they often read intrusive narrators, abrupt conclusions, and disconcerting tonal shifts as stylistic faults or as ineptitude at realistic narration. I argue that formal peculiarities of eighteenth-century fiction about criminal investigation are in fact revealing narrative symptoms of an attempt to resolve conflicts between competing theories of knowledge rooted

The text is extremely rare, and few " modem readers of Clarissa are familiar with it. In North America it is particularly hard to find. The National Union Catalog lists only two copies in the Western Hemisphere ( at the Yale 13einecke 1,, I'' Library and at the University of Vancouver) although there are 11 ,, others: the copy the author presented to Mrs. David Garrick is in ,1,, I the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library, and a copy apparently owned by Mirabeau while he was a member of the Constituent Assembly is at the University of Kentucky and 'Yas loaned to AMS Press for this reprinting. Not only does the Third ·r EdiHon present the most complete text of Clarissa, but its unique apparatus and graphic devices have not been printed as part of the novel since 1751.

  • Richardson, Barbauld, and the Construction of an Early Modern Fan Club’
    1 ‘Richardson, Barbauld, and the Construction of an Early Modern Fan Club’ Annie Watkins Thesis Submitted For The Degree of MPhil (2011) Queen Mary, University of London 2 DECLARATION I, Annie Watkins, declare that this thesis is entirely my own work, written in my own words. Signed: _________________________________________________ Date: ________________ 3 ABSTRACT Much has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
