Zusammenfassung: | In this book, Mary Jean Corbett explores fictional and non-fictional representations of Ireland's relationship with England throughout the nineteenth century. Through postcolonial and feminist theory, she considers how cross-cultural contact is negotiated through tropes of marriage and family, and demonstrates how familial rhetoric sometimes works to sustain, sometimes to contest the structures of colonial inequality. Analyzing novels by Edgeworth, Owenson, Gaskell, Kingsley, and Trollope, as well as writings by Burke, Carlyle, Engels, Arnold, and Mill, Corbett argues that the colonizing imperative for 'reforming' the Irish in an age of imperial expansion constitutes a largely unrecognized but crucial element in the rhetorical project of English nation-formation. By situating her readings within the varying historical and rhetorical contexts that shape them, she revises the critical orthodoxies surrounding colonial discourse that currently prevail in Irish and English studies, and offers a fresh perspective on important aspects of Victorian culture |

Through postcolonial and feminist theory, she considers how cross-cultural contact is negotiated through tropes of marriage and family, and demonstrates how familial rhetoric sometimes works to sustain, sometimes to contest the structures of colonial inequality. Analyzing novels by Edgeworth, Owenson, Gaskell, Kingsley, and Trollope, as well as writings by Burke, Carlyle, Engels, Arnold, and Mill, Corbett argues that the colonizing imperative for 'reforming' the Irish in an age of imperial expansion constitutes a largely unrecognized but crucial element in the rhetorical project of English nation-formation. By situating her readings within the varying historical and rhetorical contexts that shape them, she revises the critical orthodoxies surrounding colonial discourse that currently prevail in Irish and English studies, and offers a fresh perspective on important aspects of Victorian culture Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1790-1870 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte English fiction / Irish authors / History and criticism English prose literature / Irish authors / History and criticism Politics and literature / Ireland / History / 19th century Politics and literature / Great Britain / History / 19th century Literature and history / Great Britain / History / 19th century Literature and history / Ireland / History / 19th century English literature / 19th century / History and criticism Nationalism in literature Imperialism in literature Families in literature Familie (DE-588)4016397-0 gnd rswk-swf Beziehung (DE-588)4145198-3 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Engländer (DE-588)4236068-7 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Irland Ireland / Intellectual life / 19th century Ireland / Relations / England England / Relations / Ireland Ireland / In literature Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Irland (DE-588)4027667-3 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Beziehung (DE-588)4145198-3 s Irland (DE-588)4027667-3 g Geschichte 1790-1870 z 1\p DE-604 Familie (DE-588)4016397-0 s Engländer (DE-588)4236068-7 s 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-12094-4 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-66132-4 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511484766 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
