The Orphan in Eighteenth-Century Fiction: The Vicissitudes of the Eighteenth-Century Subject
E. Konig
The Orphan in Eighteenth-Century Fiction explores how the figure of the orphan was shaped by changing social and historical circumstances. Analysing sixteen major novels from Defoe to Austen, this original study explains the undiminished popularity of literary orphans and reveals their key role in the construction of gendered subjectivity.
