Zusammenfassung: | This book investigates the critical importance of women to the eighteenth-century debate on property as conducted in the fiction of the period. April London argues that contemporary novels advanced several, often conflicting, interpretations of the relation of women to property, ranging from straightforward assertions of equivalence between women and things to subtle explorations of the self-possession open to those denied a full civic identity. Two contemporary models for the defining of selfhood through reference to property structure the book, one historical (classical republicanism and bourgeois individualism), and the other literary (pastoral and georgic). These paradigms offer a cultural context for the analysis of both canonical and less well-known writers, from Samuel Richardson and Henry Mackenzie to Clara Reeve and Jane West. While this study focuses on fiction from 1740–1800, it also draws on the historiography, literary criticism and philosophy of the period, and on recent feminist and cultural studies |

April London argues that contemporary novels advanced several, often conflicting, interpretations of the relation of women to property, ranging from straightforward assertions of equivalence between women and things to subtle explorations of the self-possession open to those denied a full civic identity. Two contemporary models for the defining of selfhood through reference to property structure the book, one historical (classical republicanism and bourgeois individualism), and the other literary (pastoral and georgic). These paradigms offer a cultural context for the analysis of both canonical and less well-known writers, from Samuel Richardson and Henry Mackenzie to Clara Reeve and Jane West. While this study focuses on fiction from 1740–1800, it also draws on the historiography, literary criticism and philosophy of the period, and on recent feminist and cultural studies Geschichte 1700-1800 Geschichte 1740-1800 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1700-1800 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte English fiction / 18th century / History and criticism Women and literature / Great Britain / History / 18th century Property in literature Frau Motiv (DE-588)4113617-2 gnd rswk-swf Besitz Motiv (DE-588)4222110-9 gnd rswk-swf Grundeigentum Motiv (DE-588)4565884-5 gnd rswk-swf Frauenroman (DE-588)4134195-8 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s Frau Motiv (DE-588)4113617-2 s Grundeigentum Motiv (DE-588)4565884-5 s Geschichte 1700-1800 z 1\p DE-604 Besitz Motiv (DE-588)4222110-9 s 2\p DE-604 Frauenroman (DE-588)4134195-8 s Geschichte 1740-1800 z 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-03254-4 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-65013-7 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511484360 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 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
