In The Plight of Feeling, Julia A. Stern shows that these sentimental, melodramatic, and gothic works can be read as an emotional history of the early republic, reflecting the hate, anger, fear, and grief that tormented the Federalist era. Stern argues that these novels gave voice to a collective mourning over the violence of the Revolution and the foreclosure of liberty for the nation's noncitizens-women, the poor, Native and African Americans. Properly placed in the context of late eighteenth-century thought, the republican novel emerges as essentially political, offering its audience gothic and feminized counternarratives to read against the dominant male-authored accounts of national legitimation. Drawing upon insights from cultural history and gender studies as well as psychoanalytic, narrative, and genre theory, Stern convincingly exposes the foundation of the republic as an unquiet crypt housing those invisible Americans who contributed to its construction. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPsychological fiction, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDissenters in literature 606 $aEmotions in literature 606 $aSympathy in literature 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPsychological fiction, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDissenters in literature. 615 0$aEmotions in literature. 615 0$aSympathy in literature. 676 $a813/.309 700 $aStern$b Julia A$01810041 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973327903321 996 $aThe plight of feeling$94361148 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04788nam 2200661 a 450 001 9910968515903321 005 20251117120009.0 010 $a0-8262-6407-7 035 $a(CKB)1000000000003304 035 $a(OCoLC)607862863 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10048784 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000162278 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11177474 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000162278 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10201027 035 $a(PQKB)11626050 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3570781 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3570781 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10048784 035 $a(OCoLC)56476654 035 $a(BIP)8029413 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000003304 100 $a20021122d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGermaine de Stael, George Sand, and the Victorian woman artist /$fLinda M.

Lewis traces the matrilineal inheritance of four Victorian novelists and poets: George Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Geraldine Jewsbury, and Mrs. Humphry Ward. She argues that while the male Romantic artist saw himself as god and hero, the woman of genius lacked a guiding myth until Germaine de Stael and George Sand created one. The protagonists of Stael's Corinne and Sand's Consuelo combine attributes of the goddess Athena, the Virgin Mary, Virgil's Sibyl, and Dante's Beatrice. Lewis illustrates how the resulting Corinne/Consuelo effect is exhibited in scores of English artist-as-heroine narratives, particularly in the works of these four prominent writers who most consciously and elaborately allude to the French literary matriarchs. In her initial chapter, Lewis explains Corinne's gift as " l'enthousiasme " and Consuelo's as " la flamme sacree . " Corinne uses her influence as a political Sibyl to enter the debates of the Napoleonic era; Consuelo employs her sacred fire as a divine Sophia to indict injustice throughout Europe. Subsequent chapters examine the public and private voices of the Sibyls and Sophias of Victorian fiction, as well as the degree to which their gift demands service to art, to God, and to humankind. The closing chapter studies the waning influence of Stael and Sand in the fin-de-siecle "New Woman" novel.The core of Lewis's book is its treatment of the Victorian author and her feminine aesthetics. In each chapter Lewis uncovers the references to Corinne and Consuelo--subtle or overt, serious or facetious--and reveals the resulting tension when an artist invokes a foremother but avoids merging with the mother whom she emulates. The methodology of this bookincludes myth criticism, feminist commentary, and psychoanalytic theory, but its strength lies in Lewis's close reading of the intertextuality of ten literary works.Exploring a connection between French and English literature and providing fresh insight, Germaine de Stael, George Sand, and the Victorian Woman Artist makes a major contribution to our understanding of nineteenth-century feminism. 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen artists in literature 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArt and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xFrench influences 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen artists in literature. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xFrench influences. 676 $a809.3/93527 700 $aLewis$b Linda M.$f1942-$01809260 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968515903321 996 $aGermaine de Stael, George Sand, and the Victorian woman artist$94481512 997 $aUNINA
