• W76789841 abstract "[FIGURE 1 OMITTED] The study of manners ... suits better minute and lynx-like optics of female, than with enlarged and elevated views of things taken by male traveler. --Frances Trollope's Notebooks Frances Trollope's bestselling travel narrative, Domestic Manners of Americans (1832), complemented by Auguste Hervieu's twenty-four lithographic plates, positions readers at an unusual vantage point. Readers witness Trollope's radical extension of domestic ideology's association of women with visual regulation of home and family? She transports this way of seeing over domestic threshold and uses it as a lens for political analysis. As Trollope announces in her preface, she will offer neither an overtly political nor purely factual account of her sojourn in America. Rather, as a British female traveler, she presents her firsthand observations of the influence which political system of country has produced on principles, tastes, and manners of its domestic life. (2) Through this appropriation of domestic supervision, Trollope and her illustrator effect a radical reversal whereby signs of middle-class civility and domesticity are shown to trump abstract principles and practices of Jacksonian democracy. In taking this position, Trollope's narrator wears two ideological hats. She writes, at once, as proper supervisor of home and family and as a keen-eyed female traveler scrutinizing everyday conduct as it reflected political practice in American republic. Taking Trollope's multiple hats as a cue, this paper opens with an examination of metaphorical and literal significance of women's bonnets in Domestic Manners of Americans. Hats, including those in which author literally is pictured in Hervieu's illustrations, become an important feature of Trollope's authorial identity as well as a visual frame indicative of operations of domestic supervision itself. Just as early nineteenth-century women's headwear both circumscribed and accentuated a woman's gaze, visual/verbal caricatures of Domestic Manners reveal that early Victorian endorsement of women as supervisors of home and family was not only predicated on disciplinary and disciplined ways of viewing, but also on its authorization of voyeurism. (3) The twenty-four illustrated plates that accompanied Domestic Manners of Americans provide a unique staging ground for Trollope's argument. And while early nineteenth-century critics acknowledged importance of Hervieu's illustrations, in twentieth century these images have been virtually ignored. The 1997 Penguin edition, for example, not only omits illustrations, but also fails to acknowledge fully their removal in editor's introduction and notes. This oversight needs correction since Hervieu's illustrations not only complement but also radically extend Trollope's narrative. Trollope traveled with her illustrator throughout her time in America, and her letters, notebook, and original preface frequently mention Hervieu's art as collaborating with her own. Additionally, narrative for Domestic Manners directly references illustrations, at times admitting that Hervieu's images offer essential information that prose omits. In other words, text and images of Domestic Manners must be read in tandem if we are to understand full thrust of Trollope's argument and transatlantic sensation it caused (selling out four American and four British editions in first year of publication alone). When read in its entirety, Domestic Manners's visual and textual caricatures stage a unique form of cultural voyeurism, one which ultimately guides readers toward its central political indictment--that American exclusion of women and African Americans from civic life is detrimental to civility of entire nation. THE BONNET'S BRIM: THE DOMESTIC WOMAN SURVEYS AMERICA The peculiar combination of invisibility and vigilance personified in domestic woman came to represent principle of domestic economy itself. …" @default.
