Cíle předmětu
This course will examine the cultural aims of sentimental fiction in America and Britain. In particular, well endeavor to interpret the domestic angel broadly, as a Victorian icon housebound yet not necessarily housebroken. Is the sentimental ingénue simply the submissive mouthpiece of bourgeois discipline, or can we read her as a guardian of humanistic values and individualism against the instrumental social relations of the market? In what sense does the sentimental novel construct the feminine "domestic sphere" as a radical alternative to the male world of politics and capital, transferring moral authority from public to private life? Along with works of sentimental fiction, well read several anti-domestic narratives. This comparatist approach will help us to consider the links between sentimentality and realism and to ask what nineteenth century genres might be identified in part as reactions to domestic ideology (Poes detective story, James incipient modernism?). Can we view the linguistic turn of modernism as a backlash against the evangelical imperatives of sentimental literature, its resolve to reform (perhaps even to feminize) the world beyond writing?
