- W1570558174 abstract "Contemporary fiction, argues Steven Connor, ‘seems marked by the imperative of eternal return’ so that ‘telling has become compulsorily belated, inextricably bound up with retelling, in all its idioms: reworking, translation, adaptation, displacement, imitation, forgery, plagiarism, parody, pastiche’. The particular practice of rewriting culturally prominent texts, he continues, takes various forms, but it can be ‘distinguished from other modes of cultural mimicry’ insofar as it ‘consists of a particularized and conscientious attachment to a single textual precedent, such that its departures from the original must be measured in terms of its dependence upon it’. In other words, such forms of conscientious attachment comprise what Connor terms a kind of ‘ fidelity-in-betrayal’, whereby the rewriting compromises, without denying, the ‘cultural authority of the original text’.1 Retelling and reimagining culturally central texts – from Genesis to Jekyll and Hyde, fairy tales to Faust and Hogg to Hardy – is a defining feature of Emma Tennant’s textual practice. Although her œuvre is characterized by experimentation with a wide range of generic conventions and intertextual modes, Tennant’s literary reimaginings are often concerned with challenging the cultural authority of male-centred representations. For example, while The Bad Sister (1978) recasts the psychological thematic of James Hogg’s The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824) in a contemporary context, Two Women of London: The Strange Case of Ms. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde (1989) painstakingly transposes Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886) into a neo-Victorian critique of the gendered conditions of the Thatcherite 1980s." @default.
