项目摘要
This project examines how the idea of mixed-race identity found fictional form across a range of literary genres from the mid to late-Victorian era. By reading this fiction in conjunction with contemporary non-fictional material, I explore ways in which characters, portrayed as children of parents from two or more different racial backgrounds, can be understood with regards to Victorian discourses concerning individual subjectivity, social cohesion and national destiny. While twentieth-century literary depictions of mixed-race identity have received substantial critical attention, the subject has received little attention from scholars of the nineteenth-century, other than an interest in the pathologized, monstrous threat of marginalized figures such as Brontë's Bertha Mason. Although this project will elaborate such accounts of liminal ethnic alterity, it also explores literatures that will expand critical understanding of the differently accented, distinctive kinds of mixed-race identity that took shape within Victorian fiction. Additionally, it considers ideas about Britishness, nationhood and empire this literature can be understood to have drawn upon and energized. This project is organized around five different literary genres or sub-genres: domestic realism; maritime adventures; fin-de-siècle gothic; Anglo-Indian romance; and life-writing. This allows me to examine discourses and debates about mixed-race identity, the complexities they encoded and consider non-canonical fiction, some written by mixed-race writers, which has largely been forgotten by contemporary scholars, alongside the canonical literary works that dominate critical discussion. Thus, my thesis considers ethnic heterogeneity as both a lived experience and a fictional phenomenon.Chapter One examines portrayals of mixed-race upbringing within the domestic realism genre in light of mid-nineteenth century gender ideology and racial discourse, examining Mary Elizabeth Braddon's The Octoroon (1861) and Dinah Craik's Olive (1850) with relation to contemporary treatises concerning womanhood, breeding and environment as they related to physical health and behavioural propriety. Chapter Two considers how the portrayal of ethnically diverse pirates in Maxwell Philip's Emmanuel Appadocca (1854) challenges dominant discourses surrounding British masculinity as embodied by the British sailor. Here, in addition to non-fiction sources, I examine how Philips' contemporaries R.M. Ballantine and Captain Marryat represented British sailors. Chapter Three examines the mixed-race femme-fatale in fin-de-siècle gothic fiction with regard to discourses of degeneration within Florence Marryat's A Daughter of the Tropics (1887) and Blood of the Vampire (1894) and suggests that whilst these novels speak to late-Victorian anxieties regarding biologised notions of racial difference, they also highlight the plight of mixed-race people. Chapter Four examines the portrayal of mixed-race relationships within late Victorian-era Anglo-Indian romances. It analyses Alice Perrin's The Stronger Claim (1903) and Bithia Mary Croker's The Company's Servant (1908) and In Old Madras (1913) in the context of the "Eurasian" community in India during the British Raj, exploring how these authors utilise the supposedly apolitical romance form to subtly critique and endorse imperial values. Chapter Five examines mixed-race self-writing, exploring how Mary Seacole's Wonderful Adventures (1857) taps into narratives that arose from slavery and British imperialism and considers her autobiography in relation to depictions of ethnic heterogeneity within the legislative discourses in Anglo-Caribbean colonial administrations.
这个项目研究了混血身份的概念是如何在维多利亚时代中后期的一系列文学流派中找到虚构形式的。通过将这部小说与当代非虚构材料结合起来阅读,我探索了如何通过维多利亚时代关于个人主体性、社会凝聚力和国家命运的话语来理解这些角色,这些角色被描绘成父母来自两个或两个以上不同种族背景的孩子。虽然20世纪文学对混血身份的描述受到了大量的批评,但这个主题很少受到19世纪学者的关注,除了对像Brontë的伯莎·梅森这样的边缘人物的病态的、可怕的威胁感兴趣之外。虽然这个项目将详细描述这种有限的种族差异,但它也探索了一些文献,这些文献将扩大对维多利亚小说中形成的不同口音、独特的混合种族身份的批判性理解。此外,它还考虑了关于英国性,国家和帝国的思想,这些文学可以理解为借鉴和激励。该项目围绕五个不同的文学类型或子类型进行组织:国内现实主义;海上冒险;世纪末哥特式;英浪漫;和写。这使我能够研究关于混血身份的话语和辩论,他们编码的复杂性,并考虑非正统小说,一些由混血作家写的,这在很大程度上被当代学者所遗忘,以及主导批判性讨论的正统文学作品。因此,我的论文认为种族异质性既是一种真实的经历,也是一种虚构的现象。第一章根据19世纪中期的性别意识形态和种族话语,考察了家庭现实主义流派中对混血成长的描绘,考察了玛丽·伊丽莎白·布莱登的《奥克托伦》(1861年)和黛娜·克雷克的《奥利弗》(1850年),并将其与当代有关女性、生育和环境的论文联系起来,因为它们与身体健康和行为得体有关。第二章探讨麦克斯韦·菲利普的《伊曼纽尔·阿帕多卡》(1854)中对不同种族的海盗的刻画如何挑战围绕英国水手所体现的英国男子气概的主流话语。在这里,除了非小说来源,我还研究了飞利浦同时代的R.M.百龄坛和玛丽亚特船长是如何代表英国水手的。第三章从弗洛伦斯·玛丽亚特的《热带女儿》(1887年)和《吸血鬼之血》(1894年)中堕落的论述,考察了《最后的结局》哥特式小说中混血的蛇毒美人,并指出,这些小说虽然讲述了维多利亚时代晚期关于种族差异生物学概念的焦虑,但它们也强调了混血儿的困境。第四章考察了维多利亚时代晚期盎格鲁-印度爱情故事中混血关系的写照。本文分析了爱丽丝·佩兰的《更强烈的要求》(1903年)、比西亚·玛丽·克罗克的《公司的仆人》(1908年)和《在旧马德拉斯》(1913年)在英国统治时期印度“欧亚”社区的背景下,探讨了这些作者如何利用所谓的非政治浪漫主义形式,巧妙地批评和支持帝国价值观。第五章考察了混血儿的自述,探讨了玛丽·西科尔的《奇妙冒险》(1857)如何利用奴隶制和英国帝国主义的叙事,并将她的自传与盎格鲁-加勒比殖民政府立法话语中对种族异质性的描述联系起来。
