The text gives a history of Judith Butler’s theory of performativity and the uptake of that theory in literary criticism, and also provides detailed close reading of Gaskell’s fiction—both frequently examined texts like .Cranford., .Mary Barton., and .Wives and Daughters., and some that are less often studied, such as “Lizzie Leigh” and .Cousin Phillis.. The book argues that as theory becomes naturalized into the vocabulary of literary scholars, it often becomes more optimistic and less specific. In discussing the naturalization of theory exemplified by the application of performativity to Gaskell, the book advances general principles on the use of theory. It can be read as scholarship or used as a textbook in literary methods courses.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Elizabeth Gaskell; Judith Butler; Theory of performativity; Cranford; Gender theory | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-26314-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-26314-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
