While Nineteenthcentury Literary Scholars Have Long Been Interested In Women'S Agency In The Context Of Their Legal Status As Objects, Curious Subjects Makes The Striking And Original Argument That What We Find At The Intersection Between Women Subjects (Who Choose And Enter Into Contracts) And Women Objects (Owned And Defined By Fathers, Husbands, And The Law) Is Curiosity. Women Protagonists In The Novel Are Always Both Curiosities: Strange Objects Worthy Of Our Interest And Actors Who Are Themselves Actively Curiousrelentless Askers Of Questions, Even (And Perhaps Especially) When They Are Commanded To Be Content And Passive. What Kinds Of Curiosity Are Possible And Desirable, And What Different Kinds Of Knowledge Do They Yield? What Sort Of Subject Asks Questions, Seeks, Chooses? Can A Curious Woman Turn Her Curiosity On Herself? Curious Subjects Takes Seriously The Persuasive Force Of The Novel As A Form That Intervenes In Our Sense Of What Women Want To Know And How They Can And Should Choose To Act On That Knowledge. And It Shows An Astonishingly Wide And Subtly Various Range Of Answers To These Questions In The British Novel, Which Far From Simply Punishing Women For Their Curiosity, Theorized It, Shaped It, And Reworked It To Give Us Characters As Different As Alice In Wonderland And Dorothea Brooke, Clarissa Harlowe And Louisa Gradgrind. Schor'S Study Provides Thoughtprovoking New Readings Of The Most Canonical Novels Of The Nineteenth Centuryhard Times, Bleak House, Vanity Fair, Daniel Deronda, Among Othersand Pushes Well Beyond Commonplace Historicist Accounts Of British Culture In The Period As A Monolithic Ideological Formation. It Will Interest Scholars Of Law And Literature, Narratology, And Feminist Theory As Well As Literary History More Generally.
