Replotting Marriage in Nineteenth-Century British Literature
Autor Jill Galvan, Elsie Michieen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iun 2018
In Replotting Marriage in Nineteenth-Century British Literature, Jill Galvan and Elsie Michie bring together top Victorian scholars to scrutinize nineteenth-century marriage in incisive ways. The volume puts marriage in conversation with many aspects of culture, from education and anthropology to Darwinism and crime. It aims to widen the repertoire of critical questions we ask about how fiction represents conjugal coupling, employing, among other approaches, transimperial reading, queer theory, disability studies, and philosophies of the formation of human society. By paying close attention to elements of genre and narrative, moreover, the collection analyzes the story of marriage as formally and structurally diverse, rather than as a familiar plot line.
These essays point to nineteenth-century marriage studies as a new field of inquiry. With contributions by Ian Duncan, Elisha Cohn, Kathy Psomiades, Kelly Hager, Lauren Goodlad, Marlene Tromp, Sukanya Banerjee, Holly Furneaux, Talia Schaffer, and Helena Michie, and an afterword by Mary Jean Corbett, Replotting Marriage in Nineteenth-Century British Literature demonstrates how both established and developing fields can be brought to bear on a long-examined institution—ultimately prompting a rethinking of the nineteenth century itself.

Recenzii
“An important and original contribution to the formidable literature on the Victorian marriage plot, one that updates and reorients what might seem like an old-fashioned topic for a twenty-first century readership.” —Sharon Marcus, Between Women: Friendship, Desire, and Marriage in Victorian England
“The collection showcases cutting-edge work on marriage in nineteenth-century British literature, continuing ongoing efforts to complicate the notion that heterosexual marriage is the universal and prescriptive model for relationships in nineteenth-century fiction.” —Maia McAleavey, author of The Bigamy Plot: Sensation and Convention in the Victorian Novel
