- W58600863 abstract "This thesis examines father-daughter incest in three literary works of the longeighteenth century within a frame of the marriage exchange gone wrong. Therepresentation of father-daughter incest in this period, unlike contemporary inceststories that feature girl-children, focuses on the daughter of marriageable age, aprominent figure in eighteenth-century literature. The incest is often precipitatedat the moment that the father should be planning a marriage alliance for hisdaughter but instead begins to see her as a sexual being. The three texts examinedin the thesis are Jane Barker's Exilius, or The Banish 'd Roman (published in1714), Percy Bysshe Shelley's The Cenci and Mary Shelley's Mathilda, bothwritten in 1819. The chapters are structured around the three main characterswithin the incest plot — the daughter, the suitor(s), and the father. In these texts,the daughter is past the age of consent, is a desiring subject herself and knows sheis the incestuous object of her biological father. The texts, in which father-daughterincest is structurally and thematically central, belong to the wider literaryand social debates about marriage and the daughter of marriageable age, whichdominate the century. This thesis focuses on the female characters/daughters ofmarriageable age as they struggle to bring their incest experiences into language,and as they live out the consequences of that experience. The domestic space is apotentially dangerous one for daughters. Each of these narratives of father-daughterincest also has political implications. A close reading of the male figures— the suitor(s) and the fathers — brings to light a Jacobite reading in Exilius, acritique of the worst kind of patriarchal society in The Cenci and a criticism of asociety that allows excesses and self indulgence in Mathilda." @default.
