Wolfgang Iser's Eighteenth Century
A stage in the history of reading underlies the origins of Wolfgang Iser's method. His distinctive theory of reading is adumbrated in the writings of the period of his original specialty, the eighteenth century. In The Implied Reader Iser takes his theoretical hints and directions from the narrators of Fielding and Sterne. Through an examination of the chapters on eighteenth-century novels in The Implied Reader (and of Laurence Sterne: Tristram S…

"Rasselas" and the Closed Field
In The Stoic Comedians Hugh Kenner asserts that Stoic is one who considers, with neither panic nor indifference, that the field of possibilities available to him is large perhaps, or small perhaps, but closed.

Words and Language in Father and Son
Edmund Gosse's memoir, Father and Son , presents itself, as the subtitle has it, as A Study of Two Temperaments , and at an early point Gosse insists that "There came a time when neither spoke the same language as the other. . . . " In a sense this is almost literally true, and the burden of the book is to show how Gosse's developing consciousness of self is manifested through a consciousness of words in opposition to his father's belief in "The …
A Room of Pamela's Own
The question of women's liberation does not exist for Samuel Richardson, but the problem of woman's self-determination is central to his work. Richardson's views, as has been generally recognized, are essentially conservative, despite the upward mobility of his heroine. The world that Pamela takes as normative is highly stratified. She knows her place (her own phrase), and Mr. B.'s as well. Therefore she sees his attempts to seduce her in terms o…
