摘要

应该得到比这里更多的关注。这种神秘感在很大程度上源于神秘的网络,在这个网络中,每个角色都形成了一个中心节点,这种神秘感是由绅士式的缄默的专业礼仪混合而成的——这种礼仪与“机密职员”的角色保持一致。这种神秘感反过来又放大了与货币和信贷流通相关的焦虑,因为对影响深远、看似客观的金融市场的担忧,最终体现在深刻的个人关系的波动中。这种神秘可能会也可能不会被指责为越界性行为,就像在希普和卡克身上很明显(非常不同)那样,但在劳里和哈蒙身上却一点也不明显。不幸的是,对情色“酷儿”的寻找,往往掩盖了这些区别,也掩盖了这些角色更大的结构重要性,无论是在他们所代表的金融网络中,还是在他们出现的小说中。杜宾斯确实帮助我们注意到狄更斯小说中金融的情感复杂性,从而丰富了一个长期以来被认为是他小说中心关注的话题。但她的研究也表明,酷儿是多么难以捉摸。

The Afterlife of Enclosure: British Realism, Character, and the Commons by Carolyn Lesjak (review)
warrants more attention than it receives here. That mystery derives in large part from the arcane networks in which each character forms a central node, a mystery which is compounded by professional decorums of gentlemanly reserve – a decorum in keeping with the role of “confidential clerk.” That mystery in turn amplifies the anxieties associated with the circulation of money and credit, as worries about far-reaching, seemingly impersonal financial markets come to be incarnated in the volatility of deeply personal relationships. Such mystery may or may not be charged with transgressive sexuality, as it clearly is (very differently) in Heep and Carker, but not at all clearly in Lorry and Harmon. The search for the erotically “queer,” unfortunately, tends to cloud both these distinctions and the larger structural importance of the characters, both within the financial networks they represent and within the novels where they appear. Dobbins does helpfully alert us to the affective complexity of finance in Dickens’s novels, and thereby enriches a topic that has long been recognized as a central concern of his fiction. But her study also brings home how very elusive the queer can be.
