Ian Watt, Hau Kiou Choaan and the Rises of the Novel
The Chinese realist novel Hau Kiou Choaan, also known as The Pleasing History, was published in English translation in 1761, the year of Samuel Richardson’s death, making it the first Chinese novel translated into a European language. Yet Hau Kiou Choaan, and the ‘talent-beauty’ genre to which it belongs, were largely ignored in the West for more than two centuries. This paper explores why, until very recently, the Chinese novel had so little inf…
Spaces of Enlightenment
Space is not something objective and real, nor is it a substance, nor an accident, nor a relation; it is, rather, subjective and ideal; it issues from the nature of the mind in accordance with a stable law as a scheme, so to speak, for co-ordinating everything which is sensed externally
Before Frankenstein
Therese Huber’s Abentheuer auf einer Reise nach Neu-Holland (1793–94) was the first European novel to be set in the Antipodes, emerging directly out of post-revolutionary German romanticism. It ventriloquises the voice of Huber’s estranged husband, Georg Forster, a revolutionary, naturalist and Pacific voyager, to tell the story of Forster’s return to Australia, and thence to imagine a mode of liberation centred on family and community rather tha…
Catalysts of Change
In 1789 Olaudah Equiano published his autobiography The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African. It tells of his being kidnapped from his homeland Igbo
Mansfield Park and Political Theology
This essay examines Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park in the light of classical understandings of political theology. It does so by placing the novel in its Anglican and Erastian contexts as well as by showing that it belongs to a lineage of English prose fiction, whose famous names are Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding, which also had theopolitical interests
Literary Sentimentalism and Post-Secular Virtue
Recent scholarly work by Jürgen Habermas, Judith Butler, and others posits a new cultural domain that is simultaneously religious and secular. Drawing on the sermons of John Tillotson and the fiction of Henry Fielding, this paper examines literary sentimentalism in this “post-secular” light. It aims to show that sentimentalism affirmed Christian virtues such as charity and chastity, but it radically transmuted and displaced those virtues. In part…
Coleridge and the Lay Sermon
This essay, a contribution to the study of secularisation, explores conditions under which a new genre, the lay sermon, emerged early in the nineteenth century. It does so through a reading of the texts that inaugurate the genre, Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Lay Sermons (1817). In particular, the essay examines Coleridge’s Lay Sermons’ historical context, that is, to the beginnings of liberal politics. And it also pays attention to Coleridge’s relat…
The Cambridge History of Gay and Lesbian Literature
The Cambridge History of Gay and Lesbian Literature presents a global history of the field and is an unprecedented summation of critical knowledge on gay and lesbian literature that also addresses the impact of gay and lesbian literature on cognate fields such as comparative literature and postcolonial studies. Covering subjects from Sappho and the Greeks to queer modernism, diasporic literatures, and responses to the AIDS crisis, this volume is …
Sir Charles Grandison, Natural Law and the Fictionalised English Gentleman
This article enquires into the relation between enlightened humanist conceptions of natural law and the period novel's fictionalization of the English gentleman in the context of its marriage plot. Marriage played a key role in enlightened theorisations of natural law precisely as an institution capable of grounding familial and civil life in an emerging concept of human nature. Yet public debate about the state's role in the regulation of marria…
