• W1582992246 abstract "In 1863 John Marchmont's Legacy, Mary Elizabeth Braddon represents a humorously reflexive scene. Two young women, both avid readers, sit at a breakfast table with the hero Edward Arundel. Belinda Lawford, who is secretly love with Edward, pour[s] out the tea, oblige [his sister] Letitia, who was the middle the third volume a and [who] went on reading it as coolly as if there had been no such person as that handsome young soldier the world (381). The fact that this scene occurs in the middle the third volume of Braddon's new novel confirms--in case we had missed previous hints this effect--that this she is deeply concerned with real women readers and the ways they read, and that she was well aware the conventions the the genre that she helped create and which John Marchmont's Legacy at least ostensibly belongs. Recent work on Braddon has devoted little, if any, attention this novel--a fact not surprising considering that it is one over eighty that she wrote and until recently was out print. But I read John Marchmont's Legacy as a pivotal text Braddon's oeuvre and an important when considering the ways she intervened ongoing 1860s debates about women readers, women writers, and light literature. (1) In his literary biography Braddon, Robert Lee Wolff points out that Braddon's early success and reputation bade fair trap the genre she had invented; and contemporary critics, including Henry Mansel, Margaret Oliphant, and W. F. Rae, stubbornly refused to recognize that she had early and often broken the model into which they insisted on cramming her (8, 16). Yet, with John Marchmont's Legacy, Braddon began alter the model even before some critics had written one word on the genre. In April 1863, when Mansel coined the term sensation novel, Braddon was already well into the first volume John Marchmont's Legacy; and she completed the nearly two years before Rae, Oliphant, and Henry James had launched their important criticism fiction. (2) Indeed, with this which depicts four avid women readers and alludes over fifty works literature, she potentially taught critics how identify the genre, even as she slyly began transform it. John Marchmont's Legacy represents the first the novels, characterized by reflexive humor. (3) My phrase second generation attempts redress the problem with the classification sensation novel. By 1863, the label sensation novel was employed by a variety critics as if it had a stable meaning, but their discussions they emphasize different aspects the novels, which suggests that the term was used as a mark derision rather than express consistency content or form. Several twentieth-century critics--including Patrick Brantlinger, his 1982 essay, What is 'Sensational' about the Sensation Novel?--have identified particular formal devices and thematic concerns common most fiction, such as the diminished narrator and a fascination with real-life events. But as Brantlinger's question suggests, there is still no consensus on what constitutes a proper sensation novel or which novels fit this category as it is used twentieth-century criticism. This may not seem important--this is an aesthetic category, not a policy issue, after all; and the term's use the last twenty years has at least served raise the visibility a group heretofore marginalized texts by authors such as Braddon, Wilkie Collins, and Mrs. Henry [Ellen] Wood. But this problem consensus can help us recognize that the changed over time and that we have left out our discussions one its important aspects: humor. Even the first novels have humorous elements--Afy Hallijohn's unscrupulous husband-hunting East Lynne (1861) and Count Fosco's white mice The Woman White (1860) come mind--but Braddon was the first reflect humorously upon the within one. …" @default.
