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. 517 3 $aAllegories of Union in Irish & English Writing, 1790-1870 606 $aEnglish fiction$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish prose literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zIreland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature and history$zIreland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNationalism in literature 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aFamilies in literature 607 $aIreland$xIntellectual life$y19th century 607 $aIreland$xRelations$zEngland 607 $aEngland$xRelations$zIreland 607 $aIreland$xIn literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish prose literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNationalism in literature. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aFamilies in literature. 676 $a828/.80932417 700 $aCorbett$b Mary Jean$f1962-$01108682 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829167103321 996 $aAllegories of Union in Irish and English writing, 1790-1870$94014124 997 $aUNINA
