Specificatii
From the teeming streets of Dickens's London to the households of
domestic fiction, nineteenth-century British writers constructed
worlds crammed beyond capacity with human life. In Populating the
Novel, Emily Steinlight contends that rather than simply reflecting
demographic growth, such pervasive literary crowding contributed to
a seismic shift in British political thought. She shows how the
nineteenth-century novel in particular claimed a new cultural role
as it took on the task of narrating human aggregation at a moment
when the Malthusian specter of surplus population suddenly and
quite unexpectedly became a central premise of modern politics.In
readings of novels by Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charles
Dickens, Mary Braddon, Thomas Hardy, and Joseph Conrad that link
fiction and biopolitics, Steinlight brings the crowds that pervade
nineteenth-century fiction into the foreground. In so doing, she
transforms the subject and political stakes of the Victorian novel,
dislodging the longstanding idea that its central category is the
individual by demonstrating how fiction is altered by its emerging
concern with population. By overpopulating narrative space and
imagining the human species perpetually in excess of the existing
social order, she shows, fiction made it necessary to radically
reimagine life in the aggregate.
