Abstract:Late eighteenth-century British newspapers were vehicles of celebrity and scandal; they were also venues for the advertising of slaves. The juxtaposition made newspapers a potentially explosive and productive object in British fiction. This essay identifies a formulaic scene, originating in William Hayley’s popular poem The Triumphs of Temper (1781) and recurring in various forms in fictions by Maria Edgeworth, Frances Burney, and Elizabeth Inchbald, as well as many less well-known novels of fashionable life, in which a young white woman experiences sudden unwanted celebrity by reading about herself in a morning newspaper. This essay introduces the term “dyspathy” for the mechanism by which these fictions present the heroine as always threatened by, but inevitably rescued from, a newspaper sphere in which older discourses of blackness, and metropolitan unease at the commodification of humans, were tightly but implicitly associated. Emerging white supremacist ideas of race are shown to be fundamental to the construction of feminine domestic subjectivity in these fictions.
摘要：十八世纪晚期的英国报纸是名人和丑闻的载体；它们也是奴隶广告的场所。这种并置使报纸在英国小说中成为一个潜在的爆炸性和多产的对象。这篇文章确定了一个公式化的场景，源于威廉·海利（William Hayley）的流行诗歌《脾气的胜利》（The Triumphs of Temper，1781），在玛丽亚·埃奇沃斯（Maria Edgeworth。这篇文章引入了“变态”一词，用以描述这些小说中的女主人公一直受到报纸领域的威胁，但不可避免地被从报纸领域拯救出来的机制。在报纸领域，古老的黑人话语和大都市对人类商品化的不安紧密但含蓄地联系在一起。在这些小说中，新兴的白人至上主义种族观是建构女性家庭主体性的基础。

Abstract:This article offers a critical reading of the representational prevalence of the paternal eye in British eighteenth-century depictions of breastfeeding. I demonstrate how the Romantic period embraced the concept of the father’s gaze as a physiologically intuitive and culturally significant form of participation in the nursing act, one deemed necessary for both infant and spousal well-being. Tracing its evolving ideological legacy from William Cadogan’s foundational An Essay upon Nursing (1748) to late eighteenth-century works, particularly texts authored by Mary Wollstonecraft and Frances Burney, this essay reveals how the paternal eye came to signify a means of strengthening emotional bonds between an infant’s parents in the context of breastfeeding. I argue that the British Romantic period came to craft a resonant vision of fatherhood through the depiction of the paternal figure as a breastfeeding “co-nurse,” which provides new insights into the era’s perceptions of familial and marital partnership ideals.
