71	Clara Reeve; ovvero, una scrittrice che ha sfidato il suo tempo / Clara Reeve; or a Writer Who Defied her Times CALDIROLA, ANNA 21 February 2007 (has links) La dissertazione si pone due principali obiettivi: la ricostruzione della biografia della scrittrice settecentesca Clara Reeve e la presentazione della sua vasta produzione letteraria nella quale l'autrice sperimenta diversi generi, dalla poesia (Original Poems on Several Occasions) al saggio di critica (The Progress of Romance), dal romanzo gotico e storico (The Old English Baron, Memoirs of Sir Roger de Clarendon) al romanzo pedagogico-sentimentale (The Two Mentors, The School for Widows, Plans of Education, The Exiles, Destination), cimentandosi in svariate tecniche espressive quali l'epistolario, il dialogo e la conversazione, il memoriale. Le opere sono state affrontate seguendo principalmente l'ordine cronologico al fine di valorizzare le peculiarità di ciascuna e al contempo rappresentare il processo di maturazione della scrittrice. Ne deriva una monografia inedita che pone particolare enfasi sul contesto storico e sull'ambiente culturale in cui le opere fecero la loro apparizione al fine di comprendere meglio i processi di ricezione presso i lettori e i critici coevi. Chiudono lo studio tre importanti appendici: la prima fornisce i contenuti delle opere reeviane in sintesi; la seconda propone l'integrale trascrizione dai manoscritti della corrispondenza di Clara Reeve a Joseph Cooper Walker; la terza offre una consistente documentazione fotografica. / The dissertation focuses on two main objectives: the reconstruction of Clara Reeve's fragmentary biography and the presentation of this eighteenth century authoress' literary production in which she attempts different literary genres, from poetry (Original Poems on Several Occasions) to the essay (The Progress of Romance), from the gothic and historical novel (The Old English Baron, Memoirs of Sir Roger de Clarendon) to the sentimental and didactic novel (The Two Mentors, The School for Widows, Plans of Education, The Exiles, Destination), experimenting different forms such as the epistle, the dialogue and the memoir. The analysis of the text is based on a chronological perspective in order to emphasize the peculiarity of each work and simultaneously to present the progress of an artist. The result is an unprecedented monograph which stresses the historical context and the cultural environment in which Clara Reeve's works appeared so as to understand the dynamics of her public and critical reception. Three important appendixes close the dissertation: the first offers the plots of the works; the second proposes the full text transcription from the manuscripts of Clara Reeve's letters to Joseph Cooper Walker; the third collects documents and illustrations.

72	Sentimental spectacles : the sentimental novel, natural language, and early film performance Hart, Hilary, 1969- 03 1900 (has links) Advisor: Mary E. Wood. xii, 181 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. Print copy also available for check out and consultation in the University of Oregon's library under the call number: PS374.S714 H37 2004. / The nineteenth-century American sentimental novel has only in the last twenty years received consideration from the academy as a legitimate literary tradition. During that time feminist scholars have argued that sentimental novels performed important cultural work and represent an important literary tradition. This dissertation contributes to the scholarship by placing the sentimental novel within a larger context of intellectual history as a tradition that draws upon theoretical sources and is a source itself for later cultural developments. In examining a variety of sentimental novels, I establish the moral sense philosophy as the theoretical basis of the sentimental novel's pathetic appeals and its theories of sociability and justice. The dissertation also addresses the aesthetic features of the sentimental novel and demonstrates again the tradition's connection to moral sense philosophy but within the context of the American elocution revolution. I look at natural language theory to render more legible the moments of emotional spectacle that are the signature of sentimental aesthetics. The second half of the dissertation demonstrates a connection between the sentimental novel and silent film. Both mediums rely on a common aesthetic storehouse for signifying emotions. The last two chapters of the dissertation compare silent film performance with emotional displays in the sentimental novel and in elocution and acting manuals. I also demonstrate that the films of D. W. Griffith, especially The Birth of a Nation, draw upon on the larger conventions of the sentimental novel.
