摘要

摘要:在《一时兴起》中，玛丽亚·埃奇沃斯用感怀的废奴主义修辞和做作的西印度方言，将对非洲黑人的描写与扭曲的、攀爬阶级的仆人和愚蠢的、时髦的精英的描写并置。这种并列的重要性通过戏剧对所谓的光明会原则的探索而得到强调，它最终讽刺了时尚精英对废奴主义话语的滥用以及他们废奴主义承诺的失败。

Upstaging Abolition: Enlightened Hypocrisy in Maria Edgeworth’s Whim for Whim

Abstract:In Whim for Whim, Maria Edgeworth juxtaposes the depiction of a Black African according to the tropes of sentimental abolitionist rhetoric and staged West Indian dialect with depictions of both crooked, class-climbing servants and foolish, fashionable elites. The significance of this juxtaposition is highlighted through the play’s exploration of purported Illuminati principles, and it ultimately satirizes fashionable elites for their misappropriation of abolitionist discourse and the failure of their abolitionist commitments.

期刊介绍： Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
