Description

The Orphan in Eighteenth-Century Fiction explores how the figure of the orphan was shaped by changing social and historical circumstances. Analysing sixteen major novels from Defoe to Austen, this original study explains the undiminished popularity of literary orphans and reveals their key role in the construction of gendered subjectivity.

Author Biography:

Eva König is Lecturer at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, where she has taught courses on literary analysis and cultural theory. Her research interests include eighteenth-century literature, post-colonial literature, Marxist theory, gender theory, and psychoanalysis.
