The English Jacobin Novel on Rights, Property and the Law: Critiquing the Contract By Nancy E. Johnson
2004 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1403935734 | PDF | 4 MB


This book is a study of the radical novel's critique of the evolving social contract in the 1790s. Focusing on selected novels by Thomas Holcroft, Charlotte Smith, Elizabeth Inchbald, Robert Bage, William Godwin, Mary Hays, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Maria Edgeworth, this book examines narrative investigations into the intricate relationships between theories of rights, the requirements of proprietorship in civil society, and the construction of the legal subject.
