CHAPTER V The Narrative Technique Of "The Counterfeit Lady" Kirkman's statement that he had gathered " all that hath been written of her," is true as to the more important writings about Mary. He had before him "A Westminster Wedding," John Carleton's " Ultimum Vale," the " Life and Character" (comprising Mary's " Case " and the " Appendix "), and the " Memoires." 1 Having mastered these books, he strove to compose one which should surpass each of them in fullness, coherence, and verisimilitude. To make his readers believe that he was a cautious historian, Kirkman often admits that he is uninformed or uncertain about some details of Mary's life. He cannot explain what led this girl, with her head full of romances, to marry a humble shoemaker; "what ever she conceited I know not," he confesses, "but married she was to one Stedman, a gentleman of the gentle craft." She ran away from Stedman, "but whether it was to Barbadoes or what other place, I cannot learn." Then she married Day, but "what means she used to manage this affair I know not."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mary Carleton Narratives, 1663-1673: A Missing Chapter in the History of the English Novel Since in fiction itself no direct development toward the modern realistic novel has been found, historians have sought it in other literary types of the seventeenth century. The influence that the century exercised on the growth of prose fiction, says Mr. Raleigh, the foundations it laid for the coming novel, are to be sought, not in the writers of romance, but in the followers of other branches of literature, often remote enough from fiction, in satirists and allegorists, newspaper scribes and biographers, writers of travel and adventure, and fashionable comic playwrights. For the novel least of all forms of literature can boast a pure extrac tion; it is of a mixed and often disreputable ancestry. 2 To complete the list of the novelist's predecessors, one should mention the writers of the character, of the familiar and the imaginary letter, of the conduct book, and of the moral essay.3 In many of these forms, the second half of the seven teenth century developed traits recognizably similar to vari ous elements of the coming novel. The prevalent theory is, then, that by observing such traits, for example, the realistic expression of passion in The Portuguese Letters or the conversational vigor of Restoration comedy, and thereupon combining them in a new way, novelists learned their art.

Download or read book Mary Carleton written by Mihoko Suzuki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Carleton, commonly known as the German Princess, was a scandalous celebrity in Restoration London. Her notoriety arose from her 1663 trial and acquittal for bigamy, which became the occasion of the publication of The Case of Madam Mary Carleton. Here she narrates her version of her life as a 'German Princess', the daughter of the Earl of Cologne, though by most accounts she was born Mary Moders, the daughter of a Canterbury fiddler who married first a Canterbury shoemaker, Thomas Steadman, and then a surgeon, Thomas Day. Within her own time, Carleton was the subject of more than twenty-six pamphlets published in 1663 and 1673; this volume reprints Carleton's own The Case of Madam Mary Carleton along with representative selections of pamphlets written about her. Her trial produced its own 'pamphlet war' between Mary and her husband John and her story inspired a play and a mock epic, which significantly responded to Carleton's own emphasis on performance and epic romance in fashioning her aristocratic identity.
Download or read book Women Texts and Histories 1575 1760 written by Diane Purkiss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shared aim of these important new critical interventions into the early modern period is to make fresh feminist attempts to uncover the writings of Elizabethan and Jacobean women. Subject to silence, censorship and manipulation in the terms of overriding political concerns of the day, the feminist history of the early modern period is still a largely unwritten story. New feminist analysis can expose the conditions of production in which the history of the period was constructed: this revealing new Collection thereby exposes the untold stories which underpin the official texts. By beginning to explore this period from women's point of view, Women, Texts and Histories shows the crucial and fascinating ways in which women's writing may undermine many of the received assumptions on which the history of the period has depended.

Download or read book The Origins of the English Novel 1600 1740 written by Michael McKeon and published by Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM. This book was released on 2003-05-13 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This may well be the most important study of the development of prose fiction in England since Ian Watt’s classic Rise of the Novel, on which it builds.” —Library Journal The Origins of the English Novel, 1600-1740, combines historical analysis and readings of extraordinarily diverse texts to reconceive the foundations of the dominant genre of the modern era. Now, on the fifteenth anniversary of its initial publication, The Origins of the English Novel stands as essential reading. The anniversary edition features a new introduction in which the author reflects on the considerable response and commentary the book has attracted since its publication by describing dialectical method and by applying it to early modern notions of gender. Challenging prevailing theories that tie the origins of the novel to the ascendancy of “realism” and the “middle class,” McKeon argues that this new genre arose in response to the profound instability of literary and social categories. Between 1600 and 1740, momentous changes took place in European attitudes toward truth in narrative and toward virtue in the individual and the social order. The novel emerged, McKeon contends, as a cultural instrument designed to engage the epistemological and social crises of the age. “This book is a formidable attempt to articulate issues of almost imponderable centrality for modern life and literature. McKeon proposes with quite breathtaking ambition and considerable intellectual flourish to redefine the novel’s key role in those immense cultural transformations that produce the modern world.” —Studies in the Novel “A magisterial work of history and analysis.” —Arts and Letters “A powerful and solid work that will dominate discussion of its subject for a long time to come.” —The New York Review of Books
Download or read book Criminality and Narrative in Eighteenth Century England written by Hal Gladfelder and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of transgression–Gilgamesh, Prometheus, Oedipus, Eve—may be integral to every culture's narrative imaginings of its own origins, but such stories assumed different meanings with the burgeoning interest in modern histories of crime and punishment in the later decades of the seventeenth century. In Criminality and Narrative in Eighteenth-Century England, Hal Gladfelder shows how the trial report, providence book, criminal biography, and gallows speech came into new commercial prominence and brought into focus what was most disturbing, and most exciting, about contemporary experience. These narratives of violence, theft, disruptive sexuality, and rebellion compelled their readers to sort through fragmentary or contested evidence, anticipating the openness to discordant meanings and discrepant points of view which characterizes the later fictions of Defoe and Fielding. Beginning with the various genres of crime narrative, Gladfelder maps a complex network of discourses that collectively embodied the range of responses to the transgressive at the turn of the eighteenth century. In the book's second and third parts, he demonstrates how the discourses of criminality became enmeshed with emerging novelistic conceptions of character and narrative form. With special attention to Colonel Jack, Moll Flanders, and Roxana, Gladfelder argues that Defoe's narratives concentrate on the forces that shape identity, especially under conditions of outlawry, social dislocation, and urban poverty. He next considers Fielding's double career as author and magistrate, analyzing the interaction between his fiction and such texts as the aggressively polemical Enquiry into the Causes of the Late Increase in Robbers and his eyewitness accounts of the sensational Canning and Penlez cases. Finally, Gladfelder turns to Godwin's Caleb Williams, Wollstonecraft's Maria, and Inchbald's Nature and Art to reveal the degree to which criminal narrative, by the end of the eighteenth century, had become a necessary vehicle for articulating fundamental cultural anxieties and longings. Crime narratives, he argues, vividly embody the struggles of individuals to define their place in the suddenly unfamiliar world of modernity.
Download or read book Daniel Defoe written by Paula R. Backscheider and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Paula Backscheider considers Daniel Defoe's entire canon as related, developing, and in close dynamic relationship to the literature of its time. In so doing, she revises our conception of the contexts of Defoe's work and reassesses his achievement and contribution as a writer. By restoring a literary context for modern criticism, Backscheider argues the intensity and integrity of Defoe's artistic ambitions, demonstrating that everything he wrote rests solidly upon extensive reading of books published in England, his understanding of the reading tastes of his contemporaries, and his engagement with the issues and events of his time. Defoe, the dedicated professional writer and innovator, emerges with a new wholeness, and certain of his novels assume new significance. Defoe's literary status continues to be debated and misunderstood. Even critical studies of the novel often begin with Richardson rather than Defoe. By moving from Defoe's poetry, pamphlets, and histories to the novels, Backscheider offers an argument for the thematic and stylistic coherency of his oeuvre and for a recognition of the dominant place he held in shaping the English novel. For example, Defoe deserves to be recognized as the true originator of the historical novel, for three of his fictions are deeply engaged with just those conceptual and technical issues common to all later historical fiction. And Roxana now appears as Defoe's deliberate attempt to enter the fastest growing market for fiction—that for women readers. What have been powerfully significant for the history of the novel, then, are the very characteristics of his writing that have been held against his literary stature: its contemporaneity, its mixed and untidy form, its formal realism, its concentration on the life of an individual, and its probing of the individual's psychological interaction with the empirical world, making that world representative even as it is referential. It is exactly these characteristics most original, prominent, and subsequently imitated in Defoe's fiction that define the form we call "novel."
