▼ This dissertation grows out of a conversation between two fields—those of Victorian Literature and Science Fiction (SF). I began this project with a realization that there was a productive overlap between SF and Victorian Studies. In my initial engagement with SF, I was frustrated by the limitations of the field, and by the way that scholars were misreading the 19^th century, utilizing broad generalizations about the function of Empire, the subject, technology, and the social, where close readings would have been more productive. Victorian studies supplied a critical and theoretical basis for the interrogation of these topics, and SF gave my reading of the nineteenth century an appreciation for the dynamic nature of the mechanism, and a useful jumping-off point for conversations around futurity, utopia, and the Other. Together, these two fields created a symbiotic theoretical framework that informs the progression of the dissertation. In this project, I am shifting the grounds of engagement with early SF between two main terms; my aim is to question the establishment of “cognitive estrangement” as the seat the power in SF studies and supplant it with an emphasis on the “novum”. While both terms are indebted to Darko Suvin, I argue that the fixation on cognitive estrangement has blurred the lines of the genre of SF in nonproductive ways, and has needlessly complicated an already complex field. This dissertation is a deep engagement with the SF novels of 1871-2 to establish how the genre was defining itself from the very beginning, and looks to examine how a close-reading of early SF can inform our engagement with the field. Chapter one treats the work of Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s The Coming Race (1871), chapter two examines Sir George Chesney’s The Battle of Dorking (1871), chapter three engages with Samuel Butler’s Erewhon, and chapter four is an examination of the relationship between the first three novels and Robert Ellis Dudgeon’s Colymbia (1873) and A Voice from Another World (1874) by Wladyslaw Somerville Lach-Szurma (W.S.L.S). There are four fundamental concerns. The first is that the near simultaneous publication of Chesney, Lytton, and Butler signaled the emergence of SF as a genre, rather than as the isolated texts that had existed prior to this moment. The clustering of the novels of 1871-2 marks the transition of SF concerns from singular outlier events to a generic movement. The second claim is that the “novum”, one of the key aspects of a SF novel, is not just a material component in the text, but is a kind of logic that undergirds these novels. While the novum is often thought of as “the strange thing in a strange world”, I lock onto the early language of Suvin and critics such as Patricia Kerslake and John Rieder to suggest that it is, instead, a cognitive logic that is experimented on within the narrative of the novel. The third claim is fundamentally tied…

▼ As an elusive private figure who, by his own admission, was ‘inclined to keep [my] thoughts private’ and favoured ‘modest retirement’, Marvell experienced both extremes of private and public life in times when these structural concepts were developing into what have come to be known as the private and public spheres. Moreover, Marvell interacts with the concept of privacy in several ways: through a recurrent language of privacy throughout his work; the prosody and poetics of enclosure in his poetic composition; his choice to publish very little in a flourishing and popular print culture; and, crucially, his ability to conceal. Marvell’s mastery of ambiguity and ambivalence, the difficulty in ascertaining the chronology of many of his poems (which has tempted critics into categorizing his works too schematically), the limited biography, drawing us to the poems for evidence, and his ability to give little away: these factors combined make the paradigm of ‘privacy’ highly complex in his case. Marvell’s career overlaps the development of the private and presents the rising consciousness of the self from a literary perspective. This dissertation suggests that Marvell grew to favour privacy through his varied experiences and by becoming disconcerted with the agents of publishing and publicity. It also perhaps became an interest through which to frame his poetics as well as providing a life-model. I argue that current Marvellian critical orthodoxy, weighted heavily towards his political works, belies the private lyric poet, and, as his later public life appears to pose fewer questions regarding privacy, secrecy and anonymity, these issues which shroud the entirety of Marvell’s life and works are left behind. Following an overview of the development of the private in the seventeenth-century, I suggest three fronts by which Marvell interacts with privacy in different ways at different stages of his career: the dilemma of publishing in his early career; commentary on Cromwell’s switch from private to public life and Fairfax’s retirement; and later poetics of enclosure, assuming that some of his lyric verse was composed while engaged in public affairs at Westminster.

▼ Although a case study of William Sharp's encounter with the numinous is the focus of this study, research into the numinous experience in general is presented along with an alternative world view to the dominant Western rationalistic one. Evidence is provided that the Celtic and the Hindu approach come from the same source and that they, in comparison, to the West's dualistic, one-sided view, offer a nondualistic option in which the numinous can be more fully understood. This study is interested in a specific type of numinous experience in which the intensity between the manifest and the unmanifest aspects of the psyche confront each other and an explosion of psychic energy is released, causing a dramatic change. Analysis of both philosophical and psychological perspectives is undertaken, and it is found that while the psychological approach provided understanding of the human (manifest) side, the philosophical approach with its focus on beingness or in Heideggerian language Dasein, provides a perspective from the spirit (unmanifest) side. Michael Washburn captures the impact of the exchange of energy between the two sides: the spirit is personalized and the body is spiritualized. A mythological approach compares Sharp and Fiona to other more famous "couples" and supplements the theoretical studies. For example, Heidegger taught that Dasein must stay close to its center, its essence; otherwise it gets lost in "the they." This concept is reinforced by Lady Philosophy, who informs Boethius, "You are suffering merely from lethargy, the common illness of deceived minds. You have forgotten yourself a little, but you will quickly be yourself again when you recognize me." Lady Philosophy represents the soul and the inner teacher and is a counterpart to Fiona Macleod, who is considered Sharp's soul and inner teacher. The conclusion of this study is that the numinous experience can be understood as a normal human-development experience, is not necessarily religious, and has a sensuous component.

▼ Natural Kinds traces the employment of a "botanic aesthetics" to redraw the boundaries of kinship in British fiction of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Though botany has long been recognized as a rich source of language and metaphor for many authors in this period, this dissertation will show that it also provided an ethos of observation and organizing knowledge that had profound effects on authors' representation of subjectivity and the form of the ties that bound one person to another. Linnaeus's sexual system, the taxonomy that dominated British botany from the 1760s to the 1830s, embedded traditional metaphors of marriage into its descriptions of taxa. Scholarship has therefore concluded that texts employing botanic discourses follow Linnaeus's lead, shoring up conservative notions of family, gender, and sexuality. However, in examining texts that foreground botany—principally Erasmus Darwin's poetry and novels by Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Smith, and Sydney Owenson—I demonstrate that authors in this period frequently deploy botanic aesthetics to interrogate the limitations and failures of traditional family forms. Using botanic aesthetics to map feeling and memory through the detailed observation of plant life, these authors build sentimental communities—"botanic families"—that reflect progressive ideologies of gender, sexuality, and social order. I contend that the exclusive focus on the Linnaean system which pervades scholarly work on the confluence of botany, gender, and literature severely limits attention to the progressive ideologies supported by organic theories of natural kinds. Rather than employing a strictly Linnaean taxonomy, the authors I study rely on a taxonomy inflected by organic theories of "natural kinds," which drew from the careful observation of detail to extrapolate the principles that connected one species to another and one taxon to the next: unlike Linnaeus's artificial taxa, natural kinds were understood to reflect an order inhering in nature. Because botanic families patterned their aesthetics after such observational practices, authors legitimized these families' ties of sympathy and affection: botany enabled these authors to discount traditional family forms as "artificial" and instead offer their progressive, sentimental communities as the natural order of human relations.

▼ Domestic Topographies examines the nexus between gender identity and the material conditions of the nineteenth-century British home. A new kind of literary investigation, a “gender topography,” allows for an examination of the intersection between struggles over shifting gender roles and identities, the cultural meaning of the home, and the representation of domestic space in the novel. Gender identity and domestic ideology are both produced by the material conditions of the middle-class house, but further, the very materiality and perception of domestic spaces changes as a result of reigning ideals of gender and home life. Chapter One begins by theorizing a new narrative development in the nineteenth century, a technique that produces a “narrative tour” of the house. Dickens’ David Copperfield illustrates the way this tour enunciates gender identities and relations, forcing David to learn to read properly and perform gender within the context of various kinds of homes. For women, this performance of gender relies upon increasingly visible housekeeping activities. Chapter Two analyzes Austen’s Emma and Oliphant’s Miss Marjoribanks, suggesting that as increasingly visible housekeeping activities became integral to middle-class identity, women developed new social and even political power through the management of their homes. This power, though, comes with the pressure to maintain a “proper” house in the face of its potential loss, and Chapter Three unpacks the core tension underlying the threat of domestic dispossession: for women like Anne Elliot in Austen’s Persuasion, Maggie Tulliver in Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss, and Sue Bridehead in Hardy’s Jude the Obscure, the Victorian home is both safe sanctuary and stifling prison. The project ends by analyzing the logical culmination of domestic anxiety: the haunted house story. By reading these narratives as part of the realist tradition, instead of as Gothic or sensational literature, we can see that stories of haunted houses express material anxieties over the gender politics that inform domestic ideology. Domestic Topographies, then, opens new space for addressing the production of gender ideals by focusing on the material conditions that affect and sustain concepts of nineteenth-century feminine and masculine identity.

23. LaBreche, Ben. The rule of friendship| Literary culture and early modern liberty.

▼ In the final version of his Essays, Francis Bacon offers friendship as an essential “Rule” whereby “a Man can fitly play his owne Part” in the theater of social and political life; “if he haue not a Frend,” Bacon ominously concludes, “he may quit the stage.” The weight that Bacon places on friendship is representative of English culture in the hundred years that preceded John Locke's late seventeenth-century formulation of liberal political theory. During this period, England underwent a series of profound transitions, from the gradual emergence of contractualism to the violent regime changes of the civil wars and their aftermath. These shifts fitfully opened up new opportunities for political participation by writers, but they also demanded innovative conceptions of the advantages and dangers of this liberty. In response, I argue, a variety of English poets, playwrights, and pamphleteers turned to classical and humanist texts on friendship to frame debates over active citizenship, free speech, and the formation of political consensus. Philosophers, historians, and literary scholars have frequently either dismissed the altruism, equality, and trust of friendship as empty rhetoric or accepted them as a straightforward template for free, egalitarian politics. This dissertation argues instead that early modern writers turned to the friendship canon because, like English political thought and practice in these years, the friendship tradition was riven with conflicts. Friendship theory may have fostered free speech, equality, and self-rule, but it also frequently retreated from public to private modes of discourse, based consensus on a priori similarity rather than vigorous debate, and questioned the individuality of the political subject. The study of friendship in early modern literature thus replaces teleological narratives of the rise of liberty with a more complex account of writers' political engagement: their changing views on subjectivity and consensus formation, the anxieties that liberty provoked in them, and their construction of a rhetoric that promoted participation in the emergent public sphere. In addition to Bacon, this investigation of early modern friendship focuses primarily on Edmund Spenser, Michel de Montaigne, Ben Jonson, Katherine Philips, and John Milton.

▼ In my dissertation I reintroduce to the study of the long eighteenth century a now largely neglected genre of life writing: the published familiar correspondence, that is, published collections of epistolary exchanges between family and friends. Combining methodologies derived from literary history and the history of reading, I demonstrate how letter writers and their editors used the publication of such correspondences as a powerful tool for the manipulation of the letter writer’s social status – her or his “character.” I argue that contemporary debates over the “true character” of letter writers – evidenced in readers’ comments, editorial manipulations, and the correspondences’ publication histories – illustrate the broader socio-cultural functions of character in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. My project explores the concept of “character” beyond previous scholars’ primary interest in the construction of fictional characters, to include a person’s social status, moral reputation, credibility, and personal identity. I aim to capture aspects of character that were at the centre of the writing, editing, and reading of published correspondences as well as of eighteenth-century British culture generally, and thereby to recover meanings of “character” that have been obscured by modern literary study’s penchant for the fictional. I have chosen correspondences by Alexander Pope, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Ignatius Sancho, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Samuel Richardson as pivotal texts for a survey of the genre and for my enquiry into the socio-cultural scope of character. Each of these publications made a significant contribution to the development of published correspondences across the period, and each functions as a case study that illustrates the role of social categories such as rank, race, and gender in the formulation of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century character. In restoring scholarly attention to this important genre of life writing and to its practitioners and readers, my dissertation expands our current understanding of the conception and uses of character during the long eighteenth century, and alerts us to the role of published correspondences, in manuscript or print, in shaping social discourses throughout the long eighteenth century.

▼ In Shakespeare's Sonnets, the speaker's ideas are often complicated by couplets and sententia that do not necessarily reinforce the poems’ lyrical expression. In this study we find that the generic and modal aspects of the poems are often destabilized by two related formal factors that contribute to our understanding of the poems' content: quatrain/couplet structure and interaction of lyric with sententia. In these poems couplets and sententia can provide a sense of certainty and comfort. The reader might expect that the quatrain/couplet structure of couplet closure and the lyric context “reinforced” by sententious statements will help organize the representation of otherwise unstable emotions. However, the consequent uncertainty produced in Shakespeare's Sonnets by complication of the speaker's voice can undermine the certainty produced by such structures and indicate instead the speaker's insecurity and vulnerability, particularly when he appears to be unsure, frightened, threatened, or confused. Shakespeare seems purposefully to complicate his speaker's voice through destabilization of the sonnet structure form. Although the couplet typically concludes and resolves the poem in some way, or simply repeats the sense of the quatrains, if new material is added or if the content is irrelevant or contradictory, the reader's expectations of the couplet's function are undermined. Also, sonnet content can be made uncertain through the generic shift from lyric to sententia, a movement from the subjective expression of the poet to a seemingly objective expression as represented by the community’s collective voice. In each case, the sonnet is destabilized. Furthermore, these structural changes demonstrate that the speaker’s responses vary from poem to poem and within individual sonnets themselves. As a result, in Shakespeare's Sonnets we often see a seemingly deliberate structural instability, demonstrating an intriguing mirror of the speaker’s various and conflicting emotional experiences.

▼ “Exacting Encounters” investigates a disruption of the effort in realism to organize the world into already secured categories by the emergence of objectivity, which obstructs the capacity of early Victorians to correlate the world to themselves. Rather than understand this rupture as the cause of some irreparable crises of the subject brought on by an “end” of representation, my dissertation argues that the encounter with irregularity fixes the attention of early realists who respond to the particularity of their worlds with an experimental realism that employs a precise rhetorical and graphical manipulation of letter and line. Chapter one begins by showing how realism is initially outsourced to the British Empire where Edwards Lane exploits Egyptian resources with an exhaustive account of its terrain, imbuing it with an “exoticism” that sustains an interest in the prosaic work of description, which, in turn, unsettles Lane’s ability to narrate himself as a member of the world he explores. Chapter two shows how Dickens’s surrogate narrator, Esther, faces a different kind of narrative disruption in Bleak House, where unending metonymic displacement produces a world that makes everything a part of it. She patiently handles this by pushing the trope it to its most extreme limits where letters give way to literal blanks, uncovering a way out of the novel’s constrictive cosmos. These problems of disruption extend beyond narratological methods of organization and chapter three shows how William Whewell theorizes this early realist problem with an unusual commitment to an ontological inconsistency between necessary form and the existence of empirical reality that is at first shored up with what we calls a “permanent line.” He eventually literalizes this metaphor with a one dimensional line that no longer names the division but literally inscribes it. Chapter four investigates how John Ruskin’s Modern Painters conditions its aesthetic principles on the subject’s capacity to achieve a proportion between what he experiences and what nature exhibits. This causes Ruskin to place an excessive check to metaphor and steady himself through the textual limitations of geometry where his own place is determined by a single point on the perspective plane.

▼ In Primitive Marriage, however, I show that “primitivism” in imaginative literature emerged in the 1870s, when writers such as George Eliot and Thomas Hardy respond to anthropology in their fiction. These novelistic responses reflect the intensive focus of Victorian anthropology on myth and marriage, inaugurated by two influential works: Edward Burnett Tylor's Primitive Culture (1870), which focused primarily on myth, and John McLennan's Primitive Marriage (1865). Victorian anthropologists were influenced by Walter's Scott's folklore recovery projects, since he was the first writer to apply theories of cultural evolution to the detailed study of folk culture. Under Scott's influence, moreover, novels became a unique medium that could integrate the poetry of primitive cultural forms with the naturalistic interpretive lens of the anthropologist, a productive fusion of romance and scientific social analysis. Chapter One examines precisely how Scott's fiction responds to anthropological themes and concerns raised by own folklore researches and by the proto-anthropological work of late eighteenth-century conjectural historians. Eliot's interest in the evolution of marriage and sexuality is entirely absent from Scott's fiction, and only appears fleetingly, and suggestively, in his introduction to Roy Roy (1817), as I discuss in Chapter One. However, influential works of mid-Victorian anthropology, including McLennan's Primitive Marriage, lent scientific authority to an emerging popular association between “savage” life and sexual violence. Eliot and Hardy invoke the anthropology of marriage only to subvert it. In Chapter Two, I explore the implications Middlemarch's allusions to anthropological descriptions of “primitive” male courtship behavior involving ritualistic fights over women. The novel aligns these ritualized expressions of desire with rhetorical forms such as chivalric love literature, and so draws attention to the culturally-constructed nature of a wide range of socially-sanctioned expressions of desire. Eliot thus stresses the commonality between diverse cultures, suggesting not only that desire transcends cultural difference, but also that human societies generally create comparable aesthetic forms to structure desire's public expression. Thus in Middlemarch, Eliot is careful to historicize everything except heterosexual relations, which are deliberately dehistoricized and transcendentalized. Like Middlemarch, Daniel Deronda (1876) invokes an idea of “prehistoric” human emotion that is a source of ethical and loving relationships with others. However, whereas Middlemarch subverts cultural evolutionary readings of sexual behavior, Daniel Deronda reintroduces cultural evolution to explain its heroine's sexual psychology, and rejects universalizing Darwinian claims about women's biological nature, as I show in Chapter Three. Daniel…
