Talking About Virtue: Paisiello’S "Nina," Paër’S "Agnese," And The Sentimental Ethos, Diane Hoeveler May 2005

Talking About Virtue: Paisiello’S "Nina," Paër’S "Agnese," And The Sentimental Ethos, Diane Hoeveler

English Faculty Research and Publications

This essay will examine how sentimentality and its valorization of virtue spread through one particular intersection of opera and literature; that is, the seduced maiden narrative is enacted in these operas, once as a comedy of sorts, once as a tragedy. Giovanni Paisiello's "Nina" (1789) was clearly influenced by the works of Samuel Richardson and Laurence Sterne, while Fernando Paër's "Agnese" (1809) is a direct adaptation of Amelia Opie's popular novella "The Father and Daughter" (1801). Furthermore, both of the operas spin in and out of ideological orbit with Richardson's novel Pamela; or Virtue Rewarded (1740-41), which in turn was …


Beatrice Cenci: Hawthorne, Melville And Her Atlantic-Rim Contexts, Diane Hoeveler May 2005

Beatrice Cenci: Hawthorne, Melville And Her Atlantic-Rim Contexts, Diane Hoeveler

English Faculty Research and Publications

The figure of Beatrice Cenci was, according to Melville, the embodiment of those “two most horrible crimes possible to civilized humanity--incest and parricide." Nevertheless, she enjoyed a curious popularity as a subject in late eighteenth and nineteenth-century Atlantic-rim literary culture. Indeed, the renewed fascination with her story indicates several important psychological as well as social themes that authors as diverse as Walpole, Shelley, Swinburne, Hawthorne, Melville, Dickens, and Wharton all attempted to delineate. Although critics have analyzed the Cenci figure in Pierre and The Marble Faun before, comparing the use of this motif in relation to the earlier British works …

Gothic Opera In Britain And France: Genre, Nationalism, And Trans-Cultural Angst, Diane Hoeveler, Sarah Davies Cordova May 2004

Gothic Opera In Britain And France: Genre, Nationalism, And Trans-Cultural Angst, Diane Hoeveler, Sarah Davies Cordova

English Faculty Research and Publications

Rescue operas developed along two somewhat different lines: “tyrant” operas and “humanitarian” operas within the general category of “opera semiseria,” or “opéra comique.” The first type corresponds to the conservative British “loyalty gothic,” with its focus on the trials and tribulations of the aristocracy, while the second type draws upon the Sentimental “virtue in distress” or “woman in jeopardy” genre, with its focus on middle class characters or women as the captured or besieged. The first category emphasized political injustice or abstract questions of law and embodied the threat of tyranny in an evil man who imprisons unjustly a noble …


Review Of Fatal Women Of Romanticism By Adriana Craciun, Diane Hoeveler May 2004

Review Of Fatal Women Of Romanticism By Adriana Craciun, Diane Hoeveler

English Faculty Research and Publications

The publication of Adriana Craciun's Fatal Women is a welcome event for all those working on British women writers of the early Gothic era. In clearly focused and densely researched chapters on Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Robinson, Mary Lamb, Charlotte Dacre, Anne Bannerman, and Letitia Landon, Craciun develops her thesis about the cultural and literary ambience in which these women were working: 'women's violence in the contexts of larger political, ideological, and even medical debates specific to the Romantic period, to demonstrate that women's inherent nonviolence was often a necessary feature in arguments for "natural," corporeal sexual difference, and that this …

Frankenstein, Feminism, And Literary Theory, Diane Hoeveler Jan 2003

Frankenstein, Feminism, And Literary Theory, Diane Hoeveler

English Faculty Research and Publications

Cave ab homine unius libri, as the Latin epigram warns us: "beware the author of one book." Frankenstein has so overshadowed Mary Shelley's other books in the popular imagination that many readers believe - erroneously - that she is a one-book author. While this is decidedly not the case, Frankenstein has figured more importantly in the development of feminist literary theory than perhaps any other novel, with the possible exception of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. This essay will discuss the major feminist literary interpretations of the novel, beginning with Ellen Moers's landmark reading in Literary Women and then …
