Disguise in Moll FlandersChen, Hsiang-Hsiu 28 June 2000 (has links)
Abstract
This thesis attempts to examine the function of disguise used in Defoe¡¦s Moll Flanders. I will relate Terry Castle¡¦s studies on masquerade and disguise as an inspiration for my discussion so as to explore disguise in the novel on three levels. Clothes as well as language as a manipulable sign system manifested in masquerade become a useful means for Moll¡¦s physical disguise. The often-debated problem of Moll¡¦s penitence is brought out and explored in terms of spiritual disguise. The Editor¡¦s Preface that prescribes an authorized interpretation of Moll¡¦s story is considered a meta-narrative disguise that intends to mask Moll¡¦s criminal autobiography as a moral tale. Therefore, the novel as a whole can be seen as an arena for competition between Moll¡¦s disguise and the Editor¡¦s meta-narrative disguise. For this reader, Moll¡¦s disguise eventually hijacks Defoe¡¦s novel and defeats the meta-narrative disguise.
The thesis is composed of four chapters. The introduction presents the overall structure in a nutshell. Chapter One explains how disguise functions in masquerade and its relation to play and transgression. In Chapter Two, to enrich the discussion, Goffman¡¦s idea on ¡§impression management¡¨ is employed to explore Moll¡¦s physical disguise in everyday life. In Chapter Three, the insincerity of Moll¡¦s repentance is brought out and discussed as Moll¡¦s spiritual disguise. In Chapter Four, the Editor¡¦s Preface, which seems an appendage to the novel is seriously examined and regarded as a meta-narrative disguise for it involves a dispute of how a reader should read the novel.

Defoe, Dissent, and TypologyMcKendry, ANDREW 02 August 2013 (has links)
This dissertation investigates how Dissenting writers, among them Samuel Annesley and Richard Baxter, influenced the religious thought of Daniel Defoe. Though some critics, most notably G. A. Starr and J. Paul Hunter, have positioned Defoe within a broad "Puritan" tradition, his religious ideas are more properly understood within the specific circumstances of post-Restoration England, as the unique pressures engendered by the Interregnum impelled many Dissenting writers to privilege "Practical Religion" over abstract theology. The aversion to "doubtfull disputations" that Defoe inherits from this discourse informs not only the modes of argument Defoe employs, but also the genres through which he engages with theological questions. Throughout his writing, however, his attachment to Biblical typology, which is informed by his dependence on the Bible as a stable locus of indisputable “plainness,” comes into conflict with his political tenets, as Scripture provides no firm precedent for the mode of contractual kingship introduced by the Glorious Revolution. At first seeking to mute the incongruities between "Hebrew times" and "modern" circumstances, Defoe is eventually impelled to reconceptualise typology, formulating a theory that both acknowledges the authority of the Bible while allowing William, and the mode of contractual kingship he represents, to surpass Scriptural types. This attitude towards typology fundamentally underpins the narrative of Robinson Crusoe (1719), which systematically repudiates Biblical narratives. Rather than adhering to prefigurative Biblical patterns, the novel is built on a series of divergences, first personal and then political, from Scriptural models. Anchored in his specific geographic and economic circumstances, Crusoe’s conversion is markedly distanced from Biblical types, represented as a process unique to his situation, rather than an iteration of an existing pattern. Ultimately, this dissertation contends that Defoe’s religious thought, specifically his commitment to "Practical Religion" and the typological hermeneutic this discourse underpins, is fundamentally informed by his relationship with post-Restoration Dissent. / Thesis (Ph.D, English) -- Queen's University, 2013-08-01 15:48:01.785
