Paragons and Parasites in Richardson, Burney, and Laclos

By: Martha J. Koehler

Models of Reading will be of interest to Richardson, Burney, and Laclos scholars, as well as specialists in the history of the novel, the culture of sensibility, epistolary fiction, gender, and theories of reading. Koehler's arguments incorporate much recent criticism of eighteenth-century fiction, making this study a useful compendium even beyond the value of its own findings."--Jacket.

The Measure of Injury

Race, Gender, and Tort Law

By: Martha Chamallas,Jennifer B. Wriggins

This book asks important questions about the tort system. Tort law is largely taught and described from a doctrinal perspective that makes no attempt to see how it is actualy working on the ground. This book assesses how the tort system fares in operation by examining how race and gender influence court decisions in torts cases. A promising direction for scholarship on the tort system.""--BOOK JACKET.

Models of Reading

Paragons and Parasites in Richardson, Burney, and Laclos

By: Martha J. Koehler

Two predominant critical assumptions about Samuel Richardson—that he is a feminist and that his novels aim to exert a straightforward didactic influence on readers—are challenged by this comparative study of female exemplarity in Clarissa, Sir Charles Grandison, Evelina, and Les Liaisons dangereuses in a theoretically and historically informed context, in order to investigate the ideologically charged terrain of models and modeling in eighteenth-century epistolary fiction. The female subjectivity transacted by Clarissa's text-reader relation is imagined as a site not of ethical transformation but of crippling shame and self-reproach. Koehler's readings produce a trajectory in which Burney and Laclos, writing within thirty-five years of Clarissa's publication, reject Richardson's use of female exemplarity as a weapon.
