Book Description :
|I have no doubt that this book will become an important part of a renewed questioning of a certain unchallenged historicism prevalent in Victorian novel studies from the beginning.| ---Kevin McLaughlin, Brown University The Novel as Event is a timely reconsideration of the historical role of the Victorian novel from the perspective of its perfomativity. In a highly original application of the work of Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler, and other readers of J. L. Austin, Mario Ortiz Robles argues that the language of the novel is paramount and that the current emphasis on the representational and physical aspects of the novel tends to obscure this fact. In illustration of his theory, he provides brilliant original readings of five major Victorian novels: Dickens's Our Mutual Friend, Brontë's Jane Eyre, George Eliot's Middlemarch, Thackeray's Vanity Fair, and Collins's The Woman in White. The Novel as Event serves as a timely corrective to the narrow historicist approach to the materiality of the novel that currently holds sway. Mario Ortiz Robles is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.- Author -Mario Ortiz Robles
