书目名称 | Gossip and Subversion in Nineteenth-Century British Fiction | 副标题 | Echo‘s Economies | 编辑 | Jan B. Gordon | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Jan Gordon proposes that a reviled communicational ‘interest‘ in gossip and its purveyors be given its proper due in the development of the novel in Britain. Commencing with Sir Walter Scott‘s historically persecuted (but economically and politically necessary) androgynous voices in caves and concluding with Oscar Wilde‘s premature celebration of gossip at the very moment it is transformed from public opinion to public judgment, the author finds gossip to be both deforming and shaping nineteenth century ‘letters‘ in surprising ways. Like the ignominious orphan-figure of nineteenth-century fiction, gossip is the ‘unacknowledged reproduction‘ searching for a political antecedence which might lend a legitimacy to its often discontinuous testimony, for a culture historically resistant to obtrusive voices. | 出版日期 | Book 1996 | 关键词 | Familie; fiction; novel | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9780230376946 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-230-37694-6 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 1996 |
