Crucially in this debate, clothes play a key role, as this manly ideal is particularly linked with an avoidance of surface display and a proclaimed indifference to or even rejection of fashion and clothes, in stark opposition to the clothes-obsessed, decadent and superficial aristocratic dandy. Clothes and surface display are thus set up as the polar opposite to inner moral virtue, mirroring the fundamental class differences between the two male types. This paper argues that in Vanity Fair s portrayal of the morally virtuous but distinctly unfashionable Major Dobbin, as well as the dandiacal Jos Sedley, Thackeray actually reveals ambivalences and contradictions that problematize his own journalistic message. Dress and clothes not just make the dandy, but also crucially articulate what constitutes normative bourgeois manhood as a key technology of self-fashioning.

14 大綱 第 5 場 104/12/18 研讀主題 : 十九世紀對自然之革命性思潮 The Revolutionary View of Nature in Wordsworth and Tennyson 主講人 : 李佳容老師 My study will examine the association between the literary periods of Romanticism and Victorianism, which witnessed a significant transition in society, politics, and industry. This trans-historical shift indicates a need to understand various perceptions of nature, society, and human nature as we move from the reading of early nineteenth century to later nineteenth century. The purpose of this study is to explore the revolutionary view of nature in the poetic works of William Wordsworth and Alfred Lord Tennyson, both Poets Laureate of Great Britain. The main issue is to investigate how landscape, literary representation of landscape, and the process of representing landscape in Tintern Abbey and In Memoriam help to shape the poets identity. In turn, it is also concerned with how a sense of identity informs textual representation of landscape. In my paper, I argue that the key factor shaping the poets sense of identity is the contradictory force between oppressive society and the visionary communion with nature. For example, Wordsworth s return to nature, his birth place, is full of ambivalence his attachment to nature as a whole biocommunity and temporary isolation as an individual in society. My main points are concerned with how this positional reciprocity - the creative tension enables the poets to relocate their place in the world in order to keep a sustainable relationship with both society and nature, to reconceptualize the world they beholds, and ultimately to recognize one s own identity, which is acting and reacting with city life and natural landscape, presenting and presented by the world. 大綱 緣起 Nature v.s. forgetting 遺忘的重要性 (1) 遺忘的重要性 (2) 結論 (Anne Bronte) 第 6 場 104/12/18 研讀主題 : 遺忘的藝術 The Art of Forgetting 主講人 : 吳易道老師 15

I consider Wordsworth s textual self in the draft materials and revisions of this Book in order to explore the vital relationship between Wordsworth and his text, and to observe how he writes his complicated emotions into the process of composition. Wordsworth s represented self vanishes into language in his act of writing. Wordsworth, engaging with the counter-spirit of language, represents a self overwhelmed by the loud blast from writing itself and defaced by its substitutive figurations. However, I argue that, in response to the failure of self-representation, Wordsworth transforms his vision of the weak[ness] of words into an opportunity for the working of language itself. For Wordsworth, the visionary power in the mystery of words is capable of visioning at least the presence of the represented self. I show, in particular, how Wordsworth communicates a sense of self in language precisely by signaling its absence from that language. He does this by situating his self-representation midway between speech and silence, acknowledging but resisting the working of darkness and shadowy things in the mystery of words. Through his precisely inconsistent and opaque use of language, Wordsworth s writing avoids the total defacement of the unrepresentable self in words. 18

18 大綱 第 14 場 105/6/3 研讀主題 : 速度, 科技, 及近代的主體 : Speed, Technology and the Modern Body: Bicycling in H. G. Wells 主講人 : 陳音頤老師 In the last decade of the nineteenth century, the bicycle was often linked with the pastoral values of the outdoors, fresh air, and freedom, values perceived as conflicting with mechanized urban modernity. Yet these organic values sit side by side with the bicycle s fundamental nature as a machine of speed. The mechanistically enmeshed nature of the bicycling experience mirrors the quintessential modern experience of ceaseless change, nervous stimulation, and temporal and spatial compression. As such, the bicycle offers both a release from and also a potential source of anxiety and tension for the human subject, both a means of escape from industrial modernity and also a sublime expression of its very essence. Taking a cue from Nicholas Daly s work on the sensation novel, I argue that this duality in the bicycle s symbolism functions to retrain and retool the human subject to better adjust to the shocks of industrial modernity, and to reinterpret the human-machine encounter as pleasure (Daly 42). To forward this argument, this paper discusses H. G. Wells s 1896 novel The Wheels of Chance: A Bicycling Idyll, one of the few fin-de-sie`cle novels that uses the bicycle as a key thematic device and captures the manifold meanings of the bicycling experience.2 This novel is generally regarded as a social romance and its bicycle theme is often linked to the New Woman and socio-political iconoclasm. This paper, however, finds particular interest in the novel s depiction of the bicycle as both a symbol of the pastoral and a machine of speed. Situating the bicycle in late Victorian discourses on mobility, recreation, and machine-aided travel, I argue that Wells s novel presents the bicycle s interaction with and impact on the human subject in a way that does not emphasize stark polarization, but allows room for mutual adjustment, enabling pleasure and eventually the construction of a new emboldened, retooled modern subjectivity. 大綱 第 15 場 105/6/3 研讀主題 : 安徒生與狄更斯的共鳴 Andersen and Dickens in Resonance 主講人 : 賴淑芳老師 The Dying Child: Recurrive Theme: Dickens, A Child s Dream of a Star ; Hendersens s Early Poems The Story of a Mother A Christmas Greeting to my English Friends, December 1847 Dedication(Bently, 1847) Dickens to H.C.

De Quincey s series of recollections of the Lake Poets, detailed accounts of the Wordsworth circle, were initially published in the U.K. between 1834 and 1840 in Tait s Edinburgh Magazine, and later collected in the U.S. in 1853 by Ticknor and Fields as Literary Reminiscences. The transatlantic transmission and diverging receptions of De Quincey s literary gossips had a subtle impact on the transmutation of the iconic statuses of these two iconic English writers in the U.S. By providing a preliminary examination of De Quincey s autobiographical account of Wordsworth and its mixed recpetions, the paper seeks to explore how the transatlantic crossing of their fraught relationship plays an intriguing role in shaping their literary reputations for their American reviewers. Scholars such as John E. Jordan, Grevel Lindop, Annette Wheeler Cafarelli, David Higgins, Julian North, Lucy Newlyn, Robert Morrison, Frances Wilson, among many others, have investigated the close-knit literary and personal connection between Wordsworth and De Quincey. North, in particular, notes that De Quincey would court Wordsworth s readers on his behalf. The paper continues the critical discussion by showing that De Quincey s Wordsworthian discipleship, favorably received by American reviewers at a time when American writers were also asserting their own cultural confidence, reveals a more complex picture of De Quincey s discipleship at work. De Quincey s accounts of Wordsworth not only transgress the generic and cultural division between the public and the private, the biographical and the autobiographical, but they also showcase De Quincey s multiple boundary-crossing with his shape-shifting acts in-between Wordsworth s reader, disciple, biographer, and critic. While critics like Karen Karbiener contributes De Quincey s American popularity in the 1850 to the curiosity and superiority of his American readers over this particularly needy though nevertheless representative Englishman (3), the talk supplements the reading by suggesting that De Quincey s sketches demonstrate some qualities of Americanness that caters to his North American audiences. While De Quincey exercises his readerly courtship on Wordsworth s behalf, his discipleship also appeals to American critics for his emotional struggle against Wordsworth, and his supposedly more egalitarian attitude towards his readers. Furthermore, De Quincey s confessional mode and wandering narrative were associated with the Wordsowrthian poetics by these American reviewers, which helped form a transatlantic readerly community through their shared critique of the perceived austerity of Wordsworth.

Included will be Robert Swinhoe, the first British Consular official based on the island; photographer and travel writer John Thomson; Chinese Maritime Customs officer, Thomas Francis Hughes; and three early Presbyterian missionaries: Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell, Hugh Ritchie, and William Campbell. Finally, I will also briefly analyze accounts by two British travelers: Elizabeth Ritchie and Julia (Grimani) Hughes. Although both women shared their spouses values and worldview, their gender gave them access to people and experiences unavailable to Euro-American men. Each of these men and women was born in the British Isles, and together they comprise the first generation of secular and missionary visitors to Taiwan following the Treaty of Tientsin. Since this talk is designed be a general introduction, ample time will be saved for questions related to issues of interest to the audience. 第 25 場 106/1/13 研讀主題 : 以自然治癒國家 : 威廉 渥茲渥斯的 春之頌 主講人 : 李為堯老師大綱 the victory ode constitutes one type of national narrative It celebrates the military victories of the nation and promotes national consciousness the poet employs the generic and cultural codes Examples from Congreve, Prior, Cobbold, Wordsworth 23

25 第 30 場 106/5/19 研讀主題 : Between Reality and Representation: A Reading of Wordsworth s Language in the context of Kant s Idealism and Coleridge s Organicism 主講人 : 李佳容老師大綱 This study observes the impact of Immanuel Kant and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, two influential figures in Western philosophy, on Wordsworth s writing in order to form a complete understanding of the poet s use of language that manifests an aspect of its intellectual and artistic landscape significance in the aesthetics of the eighteenth century. Language is conventionally viewed as a formative force in the construction of thought and expression of feeling. A train of thought from German Idealism to British Organicism is mainly concerned about the aesthetic presentation of ideas. The function of aesthetic production, for idealists, is to create and form a world in which the absolute can be directly accessed. The core concept of Kant s epistemology of the world is that the rational order of the world is the product of the rule-based activity of synthesis. While Kant believes that the world is comprehensible because of our inner synthetic faculties, Coleridge supposes there are empirical laws in nature. The question is how we can determine the determinable empirical laws (my italics) that are dependent on the content of the given appearances rather than on our cognitive faculties. This is also the question existing in Kant s epistemology of the world, in which the outer appearances are claimed to be shaped by the mental intuitions. These empirical laws of things-in-themselves are still beyond the control of our comprehension and thus challenge the mind s desire to encompass it in our cognitive system. My reading also traces the way Wordsworth presents his vision of the sublime under the influence of Kant and explore the intricate link that has been weaved between the mind and the landscape in the poet s writing. In Coleridge s organic whole, there is a dynamic play of fragmentary forces. It is this very ironical pattern of fragment and whole that constitutes Coleridge s exemplary creative philosophy and causes much influence on Wordsworth s writing. My study will attempt to unpack the more perplexing problem existing in Wordsworth s interaction with nature. The fragment replicates the whole on the basis of its fragmentary totality. At the end, in poetic writing, the whole is forever in the position of presence, whose presence is replaced by the presence of the fragment. This problematic reflexive mode of the literary absolute, interestingly, is most worth in-depth exploration in Wordsworth s remarkable craft. 第 31 場 106/5/19 研讀主題 : Bewick s Dance of Death in question 主講人 : 宋美瑩老師大綱 Bewick s Dance of Death in question 畢維克 死亡之舞 的疑問本研究是就 John Bewick 在 1789 年所作版畫 死亡之舞, 追溯其十六世紀的源起 (Hans Holbein 版本 ) 和後來的模仿版本, 透過版本比較的方式, 分析各版的創新之處, 並為一部 1825 年假稱是 Mr. Bewick 的版本辯護 鑑於現今存放在 Newcastle City Library 的木雕版並非 John Bewick 的原版, 而是這套 1825 版本, 可見雖然這套版畫堪稱 偽作, 卻有相當的藝術價值 本研究認為 1825 年版是歷代版本中最具創意的一版, 其作者的爭議, 如今雖尚無定論, 盜用木雕大師畢維克名字以利市場販賣的 罪證 也確鑿, 但它在圖像構圖的重新創作上, 以及由十六世紀宗教的教誨意涵轉型到十九世紀現代社會層面的反映與諷刺, 卻是此版最大的貢獻 在歷代 死亡之舞 的版本中,1825 年 畢維克偽作 版堪稱現代版的佳作 26

The reading seminars sponsored by the MOST grant allow me great chances to meet and interact with scholars of similar fields and students from universities all over Taiwan. Although the seminar topics were not always relevant to my current research, I have benefitted so much from the fascinating themes and stimulating discussions afterwards. Furthermore, the reading group offered us a comfortable atmosphere to share our research findings and interests with our team members and researchers from other institutions. The positive feedback I received after my talk last November proves to be extremely helpful. I am currently revising the draft of the talk into a journal article, and hopefully it will be published by the end of the year. I have also learned so much from hosting some of the reading seminars this year. Prof Paraic Finnerty from the UK kindly accepted my invitation to give a public lecture on Dickinson and the Brownings in our reading group this April, an event extremely well-received by scholars and students in Taiwan. These experiences provided great chances for me to meet up with a number of specialists in the fields of the Dickinson studies, Romanticism and Nineteenth-century Studies, helping the germination of potential collaborations in the future, an opportunity I have found profoundly rewarding. Several attendants of the reading group also participated in the events and international conference hosted by EARN, a research group organized by a number of my colleagues and I in NCCU. These intellectual activities and interchanges are really a valuable asset to the development of the literary communities in Taiwan. 36

36 陳昭芳老師在 19 世紀英國文學文化研究 研讀班成立之前, 我的印象是, 與現代文學或歐陸理論相比,19 世紀的英國文學在台灣似乎不被重視 在成功大學於 2006 主辦的台灣英美文學學會年度研討會 再探 19 世紀 之後, 我們這些研究 19 世紀領域的學者們似乎又再度閉關到個人的研究室, 繼續孤軍奮鬥, 這是一種既寂寞又無奈的感覺 幸好因為參與這個研讀班, 我清楚了解有關 19 世紀的研究被忽視的印象只是一個錯覺 因為這個讀書會, 自己對該時期文學 文化熱情得以在研究 教學 服務之餘延續 更可貴的是, 有幸認識許多研究興趣與專長接近或相輔相成的學者, 也因此有機會接觸到自己原先較少涉獵的文本或議題, 透過讀書會成員之精闢導讀 分析及討論, 大大開拓了個人在既有領域的視野, 知識增長, 獲益良多, 也再次深刻體會到文學與整個時代 甚至不同文化 ( 台灣 英國 ) 間之密切關係 我非常感謝這個讀書小組帶給我的啟發, 也衷心希望這種合作共享 專業成長的機會能夠延續, 甚至成為一個常規的活動 而就個人學術研究而言, 因為兩次分享所需, 得以就維多利亞文學暨該時期父職相關議題深入鑽研, 將原本籠統的概念具體化, 並以文本 歷史 社會背景佐證, 無論對日後教學 ( 尤其是研究所部分 ) 論文撰寫及發表, 都有極大的助益 目前在整理 George Eliot 小說中父職研究, 期待能盡速完成並發表 陳音頤老師非常感謝中山大學的賴淑芳老師, 主辦這次讀書會, 也讓我有此機會更加瞭解台灣各大學研究十九世紀文學和文化的優秀學者 這個領域在英美是很大的學群, 在台灣這兩年也有越來越多學者相繼投入研究, 本讀書會的成立適時讓大家集思廣益, 互相學習, 瞭解到在各自的研究專題之外, 還有很多相關但又新鮮的題材, 這是我覺得最有收穫的地方 主辦者花了不少心思, 每次都既有深度內涵又不失趣味 楊雅惠老師承蒙本校外文系賴淑芳老師之邀, 參加了 十九世紀英國文學文化研究 經典研讀班, 觀摩了許多外文系老師相關領域的研究成果, 收獲良多 尤其外文領域的新穎研究視角, 是我們中文學門所可借鑑參考的 雖然時或教研兩忙碌, 未能每次出席, 然而若能出席的場次, 總覺十分珍惜 賴淑芳老師本讀書會為期兩年, 期間老師們在學習中定期一個月相聚並研讀經典, 尤其各場分別至成員們任教的國內大學, 中山 台大 政大 師大 成大 高雄醫學大學等校, 藉此讓各校師生皆有參與的機會, 同時每次活動廣告透過中山外文系網頁 英美文學學會及比較文學學會之電腦郵件信箱宣傳, 相信對本地英美文學研究必然有一定的影響力 同時, 成員們平日教研忙碌, 亦有從事行政工作, 忙碌之餘能夠專心研討經典, 保持學術能量並接觸最近學界發展訊息, 都認為是非常難得的機會, 也願意克服交通問題, 共聚一堂在學術思想的交流互動上已有深刻的啟發與引導未來的展望 賴慈芸老師我個人受的訓練是翻譯專業, 以往較少接觸文學專業的研究 因為翻譯經典譯注計畫的關係, 而參加了這個讀書會 其他同儕的研究, 讓我對十九世紀英國社會文化有更深入的了解 ; 而我在分析 嘯風山莊 的敘事技巧和人物心理時, 同儕的回饋也讓我受益良多, 尤其是開啟我對 女僕敘事 傳統的興趣 未來可能繼續研究和翻譯與女僕敘事相關的文學作品 顏淑娟老師感謝賴淑芳教授在百忙之中, 召集台灣本地對於十九世紀文學與文化有研讀熱忱的學者參加經典研讀的活動, 不管是已具權威性的特聘教授, 或者是新進的年輕學者, 大家都能齊聚一堂, 共襄盛舉 這次為期兩年的經典研讀活動, 最大的收穫在於讓南北兩地的學者釋放研究能量, 以較為輕鬆自在的方式一起發揮想像, 相互討論, 無形之中建構出跨校 跨界的合作模式, 也能讓具有經驗的前輩 37

37 提攜剛進入學術殿堂的後輩, 進而提升學術研究的多樣性 Sharin Schroeder 老師 I was very grateful for the opportunity to meet other nineteenth-century scholars and learn from their work. Other than the conferences held at my university (Taipei Tech), which are always attended by a few nineteenth-century scholars, this was my first opportunity to meet other Taiwanese scholars in my field. I had been wishing for a group like this ever since I moved to Taiwan in 2011, but, at the time, when I had written s to the one or two other Victorianists whom I knew, I was told that there was no real group for nineteenth-century scholars. Not only did I learn about primary and secondary sources at each meeting that will help me in my own research and teaching, these networks will also help me to be a better advisor to my MA students. I will also be better able to recommend appropriate expert outside readers to my MA students. I appreciated the feedback on my own work, and my October presentation to the group was a good motivator to finish an article for Victorian Periodicals Review, which is set to be published in VPR's summer issue. 38
