Previous issue date: 2016-02-28 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / Jane Austen is one of the authors who owns a great prestige in the literary
scenario, most notably for putting into the light aspects of the English society in which she
was linked. Among many subjects described by the scholars, there is one that will be in this
dissertation called into question, namely, the representative role of reading for fictional
readers in two works written by her, Firstly the novel Sense and Sensibility (1811) whose
selected aspect, is triggered by the disastrous reading that the heroin, Marianne Dashwood
does; and, on the other hand we will point out a differentiated reading posture, in this case, in
Pride and Prejudice (1813), whose tracking seems to indicate an ideal model of character as
a reader, with the figure of the protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet.
In both texts, we will intend to develop a literary analysis, which considers the political and
social aspects, subordinating our work, to Jameson’s levels of interpretation. / Jane Austen é uma das autoras possuidoras de grande prestígio no cenário
literário, principalmente por colocar em evidência aspectos da sociedade inglesa à qual estava
ligada. Entre muitas questões descritas pelos acadêmicos, existe uma que estará nesta
dissertação de mestrado sendo posta em discussão, a saber, o papel representativo da leitura
para os leitores ficcionais de duas das obras por ela escrita. Primeiramente, o romance Razão
e Sensibilidade (1811), cujo aspecto selecionado é deflagrado por meio da leitura nefasta da
heroína, Marianne Dashwood; e, por outro lado, apontaremos uma postura de leitura
diferenciada, nesse caso, em Orgulho e Preconceito (1813), cujo caminhar parece indicar um
modelo ideal de personagem leitora, com a figura da protagonista, Elizabeth Bennet.
Em ambos os textos, buscaremos desenvolver uma análise literária na qual se considera os
aspectos políticos e sociais, subordinando nosso trabalho aos níveis jamesonianos de
interpretação.

Previous issue date: 2016-08-16 / Não recebi financiamento / The objective of this dissertation is demonstrate by means of a dialectical reading of
Preface to Shakespeare (1765) by Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), that the reassessment
of the doctrine of the units (action, time and place) no solely unveil the breaking of the
English literary criticism with the classical aesthetic but the sign of a deep breaking of
the English capitalist society from the eighteenth century with Ancien Régime. The issue
(the reassessment of the doctrine of the units) consists in the defense that Johnson does
in favor of Shakespeare's plays against the censures of other neoclassical critics, these
influenced by French classicism. The defense that English critic undertook in favor of
the English poet‘s dramas against the reproaches of neoclassical critics anticipated the
rupture of the English criticism with the classical aesthetic. The proposal is treating of
the literary and philosophical aspects involved in the chief theme, at last to amplify the
horizon of reading through of the notions of structure of feeling by Raymond Williams
(1977) and political unconscious by Jameson (1992). / O objetivo desta dissertação é demonstrar, por meio de uma leitura dialética do Preface
to Shakespeare (1765) de Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), que a reavaliação das doutrinas
das unidades (ação, tempo e lugar) não revela somente a ruptura da crítica literária
inglesa com a estética clássica, mas o prenúncio de uma ruptura profunda da sociedade
capitalista inglesa do século XVIII com o Ancien Régime. A seguinte questão (a
reavaliação da doutrina das unidades) consiste na defesa que Johnson faz a favor das
peças de Shakespeare, contra as censuras de outros críticos neoclássicos, estes
influenciados pelo Classicismo francês. A defesa que Johnson empreende a favor dos
dramas do poeta inglês, contra a acusação dos críticos neoclássicos, antecipa a ruptura
da crítica inglesa com a estética clássica. A proposta é tratar dos aspectos literários e
filosóficos envolvidos no tema principal, e por fim, ampliar o horizonte de leitura,
através dos conceitos de structure of feeling de Raymond Williams (1977) e
inconsciente político de Jameson (1992).

The Dangerous Women of the Long Eighteenth Century: Exploring the Female Characters in Love in Excess, Roxana, and A Simple StoryBailey, Jillian 01 May 2019 (has links) (PDF)
The Long Eighteenth Century was a period in which change was constant and proceeding the Restoration Era; this sense of change continued throughout the era. Charles II created an era in which women were allowed on the theatre stage, and his mistresses accompanied him to court; Charles II set the stage for the proto-feminist ideas of the eighteenth century that would manifest themselves in Eliza Haywood’s Love in Excess, Daniel Defoe’s Roxana, and Elizabeth Inchbald’s A Simple Story. These novels showcase the enlightenment of women and some of their male contemporaries and the beginning struggles of female agency. The eighteenth century was a time in which the separate sphere mentality grew ever stronger within the patriarchal society, and yet, women began to question their subservient place in this society—although this struggle would continue to intensify throughout the nineteenth century and eventually come to fruition in the late nineteenth century.

Sisterhood Articulates A New Definition Of Moral Female Identity: Jane Austen's Adaptation Of The Eighteenth-century TraditionCurtis, Katherine 01 January 2010 (has links)
Writing at a moment of ideological crisis between individualism and hierarchical society, Jane Austen asserts a definition of moral behavior and female identity that mediates the two value systems. I argue that Austen most effectively articulates her belief in women's moral autonomy and social responsibility in her novels through her portrayal of sisterhood. Austen reshapes the stereotype of sisters and female friendships as dangerous found in her domestic novel predecessors. While recognizing women's social vulnerability, which endangers female friendship and turns it into a site of competition, Austen urges the morality of selflessly embracing sisterhood anyway. An Austen heroine must overcome sisterly rivalry if she is to achieve the moral strength Austen demands of her. As Mansfield Park (1814) and Pride and Prejudice (1813) demonstrate, such rivalry reveals the flawed morality of both individualism and patrilineal society. I further argue that in these novels sisterhood articulates the internally motivated selflessness Austen makes her moral standard. Sisterhood not only indicates female morality for Austen, it also enables this character. Rejecting Rousseau's proposal of men shaping malleable female minds, Austen pronounces sisters to be the best moral guides. In Northanger Abbey (1818), Austen shows the failure of the man to educate our heroine and the success of his sister. In Sense and Sensibility (1811), Austen pinpoints the source of sisterly education's success in its feminine context of nurture, affection, intimacy, and subtlety. With this portrait of sisterhood, Austen adheres to the moral authority inherent in Burkean philosophy while advocating individual responsibility, not external regulation, to choose selfless behavior. Austen further promotes gender equality by expressing women's moral autonomy, while supporting gender distinctions that privilege femininity. By offering such powerful, complex sister relationships, Austen transforms eighteenth-century literary thought about women, sisters, and morality.

Elsa Fougt, Kungl. boktryckare : Aktör i det litterära systemet ca 1780-1810Rimm, Anna-Maria January 2009 (has links)
Elsa Fougt (1744–1826), a woman entrepreneur, was one of the leading figures in the late eighteenth-century Swedish book trade. Her main enterprise was the printing house Kongl. Tryckeriet (the Royal Printing House), which was responsible for printing and publishing the official documents of the Swedish realm. Besides her office as Royal Printer, she also ran a publishing house, two bookshops and a type foundry, as well as being the editor of the Swedish newspaper Stockholms Weckoblad. The dissertation analyzes Fougt's different enterprises and her position in the book trade between 1780 and 1810, from the perspectives of sociology of literature and gender history. It consists of five independent articles, preceded by an introductory chapter which summarizes the articles and discusses their main findings. The first two articles explore the office of the Royal Printer during the whole eighteenth century, while the third article concerns Elsa Fougt’s position as Royal Printer. The fourth article is a study of Fougt's publishing house, and the fifth and final article focuses on her international bookshop, where, among other things, she sold clandestine books imported from the STN in Switzerland. Fougt's successful career was made possible by a number of favourable circumstances, the most important being her family background and network. Her father Peter Momma held the office of Royal Printer, and Elsa Fougt and her husband Henric inherited his position when he died. When Henric passed away in 1782, Elsa – as a widow – was legally allowed to take up the office of Royal Printer independently. The fact that Elsa Fougt was a woman does not seem to have particularly affected her role as Royal Printer. In comparison with her predecessors, her position as Royal Printer appears to have been rather strong. She was a shrewd businesswoman who successfully negotiated with the authorities for higher financial compensation. Her office was obviously of greater importance than her gender. Being both a publisher, a printer, and a bookseller, Fougt handled most of the functions of the book trade, although she distinguished between these different functions. Furthermore, rather than just being an intermediary of books, she also took part in the creation of them, for example by initiating texts and editing manuscripts. In the book trade of her time, Fougt can be seen as both a traditionalist – holding the inherited office of Royal Printer – and an innovator, representing a more modern literary system with increased specialization.

Good Nature and Prudence: Moral Concepts of Character in Eighteenth-Century FictionWynne, Edith J. 08 1900 (has links)
To appreciate fully the ethical dimensions inherent in the literature of the eighteenth century it is necessary to understand the moral bias of an author, a bias often best ascertained by a study of the treatment he accords good nature and prudence. Although several scholarly articles and portions of longer studies recognize the importance of these virtues for individual writers, no single work has appeared which traces fully the history of the idea of good nature and prudence as complementary virtues in the eighteenth century. The present study provides a systematic analysis of these virtues as treated in theology, ethical philosophy, and fiction from the later seventeenth century to about 1800.

The woman novelist as philosopher : an enquiry into the works of Frances Burney, Ann Radcliffe, and Jane AustenMorais, Marceline 11 1900 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur l’œuvre littéraire de trois romancières anglaises du XVIIIe siècle : Frances Burney, Ann Radcliffe et Jane Austen. À travers l’analyse de leurs romans, je démontre comment elles ont utilisé ce genre littéraire relativement nouveau, pour aborder les problèmes philosophiques centraux de cette époque. Afin de soutenir que ces écrivaines ont utilisé le roman pour aborder des problèmes philosophiques, je dois démontrer, dans un premier temps, la capacité des œuvres littératires en général à produire un contenu cognitif et à générer des connaissances. Mon propos me conduit ensuite à démontrer comment elles ont contribué significativement à problématiser et explorer ce que j’appelle « Le problème de la Modernité », soit le sentiment d’aliénation produit à l’époque moderne par la séparation entre le sujet humain, le monde et les autres humains. J’expose alors comment ce sentiment d’aliénation est au cœur des romans de Frances Burney, dont les héroïnes, dépossédées de leur identité sociale, errent sans protection, dans un monde hostile. Je démontre également comment les romans gothiques d’Ann Radcliffe, malgré leurs horreurs, offrent un moyen « esthétique » de faire face à cette aliénation. J’explique finalement comment Jane Austen tente de reconstruire le rapport du sujet humain au monde par l’entremise de l’imagination et de la fiction, d’une part, et de notre engagement moral envers autrui, d’autre part. Enfin, l’analyse de leurs œuvres permet de démontrer comment leurs réflexions au sujet de la précarité du sujet moderne rejoint les préoccupations des philosophes avec lesquels ces romancières sont en discussion. / This dissertation looks at the work of three prominent women novelists of the long eighteenth century: Frances Burney, Ann Radcliffe, and Jane Austen. Through a close analysis of their novels, I demonstrate how mid-eighteenth-century to early nineteenth-century British women authors used the novel, a relatively new literary genre, to engage with some of the central philosophical problems of their time. I explore how novels, being works of fiction, contain certain “truths,” notably forms of knowledge about humans and the world, thus serving as important sources of learning. Since the philosophical problems addressed by philosophers in the eighteenth century were numerous, I narrow their scope significantly, focusing on what I call “the modern predicament,” that is, the sentiment of alienation produced by the separation of the human subject from the world and other humans. I demonstrate how this sentiment of alienation is at the core of Frances Burney’s novels, whose heroines, dispossessed of social identity, wander without much protection in a hostile world. I also demonstrate how Ann Radcliffe’s Gothic novels, in spite of their horrors, provide an aesthetic way of coping with personal alienation and imagining a better state of the world. Finally, I show how Jane Austen’s novels suggest ways of reconciling the subject, others, and the world through the literary imagination and mutual sympathy. Most importantly, I show how these women novelists engage with and revise the ideas of modern philosophers.
