The Narrated Mind: Children's Literature And The Creation Of The Self In Late Eighteenth-Century England, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
As Alan Richardson has explained, late eighteenth-century children’s writers thought of “the child’s mind as a text in process.” As he puts it, “the child consumer of ‘moral’ fiction learns, above and beyond any discrete ethical lesson, to conceive of its own life in terms of a succession of moral narratives based on those…presented in the tales it reads.” This process is clear not only from the ways in which these texts suggest that they themselves be used but also through their representations of reading. It is significant that writers who highlight the importance of experience in the formation of …

Wiki-Writing: Teaching With Wikipedia, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
In this half-day workshop, we would like to introduce participants to the variety of ways Wikipedia can be used in the classroom. Wikis of all sorts have become increasingly powerful tools to teach writing at the college level and we would like to help participants envisage a wide scope of writing assignments using Wikipedia—assignments that emphasize traditional writing and research skills across the disciplines as well as the importance of newer skills such as media and technological literacy. Among the topics we will cover are: writing for a global readership; collaborative writing; the assessment of sources; the ambiguity between fact-based …
‘Spare The Sympathy, Spoil The Child:’ Sensibility, Selfhood, And The Maturing Reader, 1775-1815, Adrianne Wadewitz
‘Spare The Sympathy, Spoil The Child:’ Sensibility, Selfhood, And The Maturing Reader, 1775-1815, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
Surveying the archive of late eighteenth-century children's literature, this dissertation argues that children's authors constructed a version of subjectivity based in the passions. Challenging the dominant Lockean model, these writers drew on Rousseau's theory of education and the discourse of sensibility to construct a “sympathetic self.” Children's writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Charlotte Smith, and Maria Edgeworth highlighted the role of pain and suffering in the creation of the self; in so doing, they reimagined the discourse of sensibility, promoting a selfhood that was collective, benevolent, and imaginative. Significantly, this “sympathetic self” was available to both sexes …

Sticks And Stones: Violence And The Creation Of The Self In Late Eighteenth-Century Children’S Literature, Adrianne Wadewitz
Sticks And Stones: Violence And The Creation Of The Self In Late Eighteenth-Century Children’S Literature, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
In Dorothy Kilner’s The Life and Perambulation of a Mouse (1783), Nimble watches as a little boy tortures his brother Brighteyes by using him as a plaything for the cat. Soon after, though, the little boy himself is similarly whipped by his father so that he will learn to feel the suffering of others and restrain his power over the weak. Such scenes of physical violence abound in eighteenth-century children’s texts: idle, dishonest, and disobedient children experience not only direct physical punishment such as this little boy’s but also indirect punishments such as illnesses, burnings and drownings; perhaps more surprisingly, …

Adrianne Wadewitz
In Dorothy Kilner’s The Life and Perambulations of a Mouse (1783), Nimble watches as his brother Brighteyes is made the cat’s plaything by a cruel little boy. Soon after, though, the little boy is whipped himself by his father so that he will properly appreciate and regret the suffering that he caused the mouse and learn to restrain exercising his power over the weak. Such scenes of physical violence abound in eighteenth-century children’s texts: idle, dishonest, and disobedient children experience not only direct physical punishments like this beating but also indirect punishments such as illnesses, burnings and drownings; even patient, …

Sermonizing Women: Christian Civic Virtue And The Public Sphere, Adrianne Wadewitz
Sermonizing Women: Christian Civic Virtue And The Public Sphere, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
Although often thought of as a masculine genre, women writers effectively employed the sermon not only to enter doctrinal and other religious debates but also to create a broader space for women within the public sphere. In using this distinctively religious genre, women writers as diverse as Hannah More, Mary Wollstonecraft and Anna Laetitia Barbauld gave a moral legitimacy to the participation of women in a wide range of public issues. Their sermons presented an image of the reforming woman who could shape the public sphere through religion; constructing a moral public sphere became a Christian duty for women, as …
The Conservatism Of 1784: Georgiana, Duchess Of Devonshire And ‘Representative Publicness, Adrianne Wadewitz
The Conservatism Of 1784: Georgiana, Duchess Of Devonshire And ‘Representative Publicness, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
The 1784 Westminster election has garnered a lot of attention because of the extraordinary contemporary reactions, both positive and negative, to the participation of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Historians such as Amanda Foreman, Elaine Chalus, Anne Stott, and Judith Lewis have used this election to illustrate the potential for female political involvement during the eighteenth-century. They also convincingly argue that the harsh criticism leveled at Georgiana was a consequence of her ‘democratic’ canvassing techniques and not a reaction to her sex, but their analyses lack a clear framework that accounts for the violence of the responses. I would like to …
Performed Subjectivity: The Absence Of Interiority In Pamela, Adrianne Wadewitz
Performed Subjectivity: The Absence Of Interiority In Pamela, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
In this paper I will challenge the dominant reading of Pamela that argues that Richardson constructs an interiorized character in Pamela through her letters and her occupation of the private space of the closet. I will contend, on the other hand, that Pamela does not have an independent, identifiable private self because of the performative nature of her letters and her movements; she develops subjectivity only when she performs. Furthermore, she performs various ‘roles’ such as maid, wife and lover, thus not inhabiting any one identity. Pamela does not so much present either a publication of the private or a …

The Overdetermining Religious Rhetoric(S) Of Blake’S And Paine’S Theosophies, Adrianne Wadewitz
The Overdetermining Religious Rhetoric(S) Of Blake’S And Paine’S Theosophies, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
Emphasizing a conflict between Paine the rationalist and Blake the prophet, scholars studying the relationship between Blake’s and Paine’s religious writings have chosen to focus more heavily on the political rather than the religious aspects of the texts. For example, John Coates writes that ‘Paine and Blake epitomise the two poles of a revolutionary dialectic between political pragmatism, action, rational planning on the one hand, and on the other, the constant need for visionary flexibility, a relation to change as a whole process, rather than one final goal’ (Woodcock and Coates, Combative Styles 104-5). This is, I believe, a simplified …
