- Summary:
- 'Curious Subjects' focuses on the relationship between women, curiosity, and the rise of the novel, using the lenses of scientific, legal, and 'fictional' curiosity to examine the changing definitions of the subject within these various discourses. Texts range from eighteenth-century fiction to classic Victorian 'heroine texts', to contemporary revisions of realist forms, with an emphasis on the always-doubled and duplicitous nature of both female curiosity and the realist project.
