ABSTRACT:Reclaiming Hester Piozzi from mischaracterization as failed author and Johnson devotee, this essay argues that she enacted a feminist approach to history in her copious manuscript annotations to The Spectator, the popular and widely read eighteenth-century periodical. Inscribing her copy eight decades after the series’ initial appearance, Piozzi challenges its normative vision of culture by inserting thick, candid details about her experiences of courtship and marriage. She resists the essays’ sanguine accounts of heterosexuality’s coextensiveness with polite English culture, narrating reproductive domesticity as harmful to women and arguing for social and legal measures to ensure their self-determination. Unfolding piecemeal across the eight-volume set, and echoing claims made about her life in other manuscript fragments, her Spectator marginalia prove the revered printed work to be provisional, its pages and ideas susceptible to revision by an energized interlocutor prepared to change the scope of history. This essay proposes that her method of self-citation is an assemblage of what Sara Ahmed calls “feminist materials”—a body of knowledge derived from gendered experience and unapologetic about the disturbance it causes to dominant cultural narratives.

ABSTRACT:This article argues for a broader inclusion of public criticism within reception histories, using suffrage discourse on Jane Austen as a case study. It argues that although public criticism, aimed at ordinary and everyday readers, is regularly overlooked in academic discourse, its methodologies invite compelling and timely re-readings; in the case of Austen, public critics originated an unequivocally feminist reception. An examination of the debates over Austen’s femininity or feminism in suffrage periodicals from the 1910s and 1920s locates the origins of Austen’s feminist criticism in suffrage voices rather than second-wave feminist scholarship. This article presents previously undiscussed suffrage articles about Austen and responds to the question of why this history has been untouched in Austen studies. It then turns to current conversations on Austen’s raced and imperial legacy to show how contemporary writers are similarly re-reading Austen for contemporary audiences. Beyond Austen studies and suffrage history, the essay more broadly contributes to on-going discussions about how and why academics might “undiscipline” nineteenth-century studies. It shows that in order to circumvent gendered, classed, and raced barriers embedded in academic criticism, reception studies must broaden the type of sources considered within any author’s historical reception.

ABSTRACT:This article examines The Bondwoman’s Narrative, a slave narrative written in the 1850s and attributed to Hannah Crafts, from an ecofeminist perspective to explore the relationship between the human and nonhuman in the text. Drawing upon the growing field of African American environmental criticism, it analyzes the ways in which language reveals sympathy between the narrator and the nonhuman world in their mutual oppression while also challenging the dehumanizing effects of this link. In this reading, the much-criticized final scene describing Hannah’s home becomes the means for Hannah to express her agency and personhood, symbolizing her distinction from the “wildness” that men have used to exploit her and other marginalized women in the text. Ultimately, Hannah’s expression of justice comes in the form of a house. Analyzing The Bondwoman’s Narrative in light of a contemporary lens like ecofeminism reinterprets the text’s ending but also contributes an essential perspective to ecofeminism, illustrating the need to diversify the textual analyses that underpin theoretical lenses.

ABSTRACT:This article examines the gendered racialization of Muslim women in Kamila Shamsie’s Home Fire (2017) and Samira Ahmed’s Internment (2019) and argues that their young South Asian Muslim women protagonists navigate physical and digital spaces to claim their rights as citizens. The article first explores the ways in which the public sphere operates transnationally and has shaped perceptions of Muslims in the United Kingdom and United States since 9/11, and analyzes the role of transnational subaltern counterpublics to resist Islamophobia and state repression. The article then examines the ways in which the young Muslim women in Shamsie’s and Ahmed’s works fight the xenophobic state, its surveillance regime, and the curtailment of the ability of Muslims to move freely. In both novels, resistance emerges as a transnational subaltern counterpublic in traditional and digital media. The novels underscore the young women’s agency in overcoming constraints on their mobility and freedom of speech to claim their rights as citizens and engage in an oppositional public sphere that counters their exclusion.
