Previous issue date: 2008 / O presente trabalho propõe o estudo de Changing Heaven – romance de Jane Urquhart
publicado em Toronto, Canadá, pela editora Emblem Editions, em 1990. Com ele, pretendo
demonstrar a relação existente entre o universo romanesco proposto por Urquhart e aquele da tradição gótica inglesa de autoria feminina, com a qual ela abertamente dialoga. Além disso, aproximo Changing Heaven da série anglo-canadense para o mesmo gênero, estabelecendo, entre eles, relações que visam a caracterizar a feição assumida por esta narrativa junto ao país de Urquhart. Por fim, discorro brevemente sobre de que forma Changing Heaven dialoga com ou revisa a linhagem/ancestralidade de romances góticos de autoria feminina. O conceito de gótico feminino utilizado aqui é aquele cunhado por Ellen Moers (1977). Para o estudo do
gótico, embora muitas fontes tenham sido consultadas, vali-me principalmente das
concepções de Eugenia DeLamotte e seu Perils of the night: a feminist study of the nineteenth century Gothic (1990). Neste estudo, defendo que a moldura gótica adotada por Urquhart em Changing Heaven permite-lhe sublinhar os temas da identidade, alteridade, memória e o processo de criação artística, bem como reafirmar sua escritura através do diálogo com o romance Wuthering Heights (1897), da inglesa Emily Brontë, a grande matriz narratológica por trás do seu romance. / The present work proposes a study of Jane Urquhart’s Changing Heaven, a novel first
published in Toronto, Canada, by Emblem Editions Press in 1990. It aims at demonstrating the relation between the novelistic universe as conceived by Urquhart and that of the female Gothic English tradition, with which she overtly dialogs. Moreover, I bring Changing Heaven near the Anglo-Canadian series of the same genre so as to trace parallels that ultimately intend
do explicit the features that shape this kind of narrative in Urquhart’s country. Last, I briefly go over on how Changing Heaven dialogs with or contributes to revise the lineage/tradition of female Gothic novels. The concept of female Gothic used here is the one coined by Ellen Moers (1977). For the study of the Gothic itself, even though many sources have been consulted, Eugenia Delamotte’s Perils of the night: a feminist study of the nineteenth century Gothic (1990) has proved to be especially relevant. In this work, the point made is that the Gothic frame used by Urquhart allows this writer to underline issues concerning identity,
otherness, memory and the process of artistic creation, as well as to restate her own writing praxis through the dialog with the novel Wuthering Heights (1897), by Emily Brönte, the main intertext behind Urquhart’s novel.
