Through postcolonial and feminist theory, she considers how cross-cultural contact is negotiated through tropes of marriage and family, and demonstrates how familial rhetoric sometimes works to sustain, sometimes to contest the structures of colonial inequality. Analyzing novels by Edgeworth, Owenson, Gaskell, Kingsley, and Trollope, as well as writings by Burke, Carlyle, Engels, Arnold, and Mill, Corbett argues that the colonizing imperative for 'reforming' the Irish in an age of imperial expansion constitutes a largely unrecognized but crucial element in the rhetorical project of English nation-formation. By situating her readings within the varying historical and rhetorical contexts that shape them, she revises the critical orthodoxies surrounding colonial discourse that currently prevail in Irish and English studies, and offers a fresh perspective on important aspects of Victorian culture.English fictionIrish authorsHistory and criticismEnglish prose literatureIrish authorsHistory and criticismPolitics and literatureIrelandHistory19th centuryPolitics and literatureGreat BritainHistory19th centuryLiterature and historyGreat BritainHistory19th centuryLiterature and historyIrelandHistory19th centuryEnglish literature19th centuryHistory and criticismNationalism in literatureImperialism in literatureFamilies in literatureIrelandIntellectual life19th centuryIrelandRelationsEnglandEnglandRelationsIrelandIrelandIn literatureEnglish fictionIrish authorsHistory and criticism.English prose literatureIrish authorsHistory and criticism.Politics and literatureHistoryPolitics and literatureHistoryLiterature and historyHistoryLiterature and historyHistoryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Nationalism in literature.Imperialism in literature.Families in literature.828/.80932417Corbett Mary Jean1962-1108682MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829167103321Allegories of Union in Irish and English writing, 1790-18704014124UNINA
