- W2496630955 abstract "Like Nathaniel Hawthorne, E.D.E.N. Southworth responded to the tropes of the antislavery campaign by imagining a heroine who defied conventional standards of feminine conduct by circulating in the free market. Both Hester and Capitola Black, the protagonist of Southworth’s novel The Hidden Hand; or, Capitola the Madcap (1859), are cut off from family connections and forced to support themselves. Both carry signs, inscribed on their bodies, setting them apart from other women and suggesting a range of interpretive possibilities. Capitola’s birthmark, a red “hidden hand” on the inside of her palm, identifies her as her mother’s daughter and the heiress of a large fortune. But the birthmark also suggests an affinity for Adam Smith’s theory of the market’s “invisible hand,” a tendency for individuals pursuing their own self-interest to collectively maximize the community’s well-being. Pursuing her own self-interest, Capitola, like Smith’s invisible hand, becomes an agent of positive social change. Contrary to the tenets of separate-spheres ideology, which predicted grave consequences to families and the nation should women enter the public sphere, Capitola’s egoism and public adventures curb the excesses of the strong and promote the interests of the weak. All of her apparent transgressions ultimately result in the greater harmony of the community. Lacking Hawthorne’s ambivalence toward public women, Southworth created a character who unapologetically represents the independence and entrepreneurial spirit extolled in the emerging industrial capitalism of the mid-nineteenth century." @default.
