In Clarissa's Ciphers, Terry Castle delineates the ways in which, in a world where only voice carries authority, Clarissa is repeatedly silenced, both metaphorically and literally. A victim of rape, she is first a victim of hermeneutic abuse. Drawing on feminist criticism and hermeneutic theory, Castle examines the question of authority in the novel. By tracing the patterns of abuse and exploitation that occur when meanings are arbitrarily and violently imposed, she explores the sexual politics of reading. 606 $aReader-response criticism 606 $aRape victims in literature 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEpistolary fiction, English$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $ahermeneutics 610 $aSamuel Richardson 610 $asexual politics 610 $areader-response criticism 610 $aClarissa 610 $afeminist criticism 615 0$aReader-response criticism. 615 0$aRape victims in literature. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEpistolary fiction, English$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a823/.6 700 $aCastle$b Terry$0221242 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136646003321 996 $aClarissa's Ciphers$92271390 997 $aUNINA
