Abstract:
This thesis, entitled "Too Fond to Be Here Related": Ironic Didacticism and the Moral Analogy in Henry Fielding's "Amelia" (1751), opens by exploring the current and historical critical reception of Fielding's final extended work of fiction. In an effort to explain Amelia's "failure"---the prevailing assessment among even its more sympathetic critics---I then argue that this experimental novel offers an innovative engagement with David Hume's moral philosophy. The emerging analogy provides a fascinating but previously neglected departure from Samuel Richardson's means of providing moral instruction through a sentimental appeal to upholding a specific social contract; Fielding's unsteady narrator and provocative paradoxical treatment of the novel's protagonists invite us to appreciate the link between Amelia and the progressive social protest novels of the later eighteenth century.

Abstract:
This study is an examination of Henry Fielding's attitude toward the uses and abuses of language in the four newspapers which he edited: The Champion (1739-40), The True Patriot (1745-46), The Jacobite's Journal (1747-48), The Covent Garden Journal (1752). This exploration begins with a consideration of Fielding's attitude toward the corrupting and corruptible word and the relationship which he saw between the corruption and decline in language and the corruption and decline in ethics and morality. It focuses on these four journals largely neglected by previous Fielding critics, searching them for references to language uses and abuses and for the social theory underlying these remarks. This study moreover traces and investigates Fielding's seventeenth-century philosophical forerunners-Thomas Hobbes, Bernard de Mandeville, Anthony Ashley Cooper Third Earl of Shaftesbury, John Locke--and their profound effect on Fielding's ethos and ethics in particular and on those of the eighteenth century in general. Locke is discussed in most detail because he directly shaped Fielding's attitude toward language.Because language is a major tool of certain learned professions, three chapters examine Fielding's position in his journals on the uses and abuses of language as related to three groups of professionals: the clergy, writers and critics, and lawyers and doctors.This study suggests further areas needing investigation: (1) critical editions of The Champion and The Covent Garden Journal, (2) a comparative study of Fielding's journalistic efforts with those of Addison, Steele, Defoe, and especially Swift, (3) an examination of Fielding's attitude toward women in the four journals, (4) an exploration of the philosophical relationship between Fielding and Locke, (5) a comparison of Fielding's theories of language and society with those of two modern linguistphilosophers--George Orwell and Walter Ong.Fielding attempted in his four journals to restore a language that he saw as fallen into corruption and abuse. Language, he thought, often becomes corrupt first; then the corruptions in society follow. Fielding's four journals provide particularly useful indications of how seriously he took language, how prevalent he found its abuses in the professions of mid-eighteenth-century England, and how he hoped through purifying language to reform society itself in his own time.<br>Department of English

Abstract:
Cette étude porte sur les discours théoriques et les dispositifs rhétoriques auxquels la fiction de langue anglaise a recours pour se légitimer, dans un contexte de ferme condamnation morale et de mépris de la part des doctes. Ces discours et ces dispositifs se déploient dans des titres, des préfaces et au coeur même des récits. Les auteurs les mobilisent pour affirmer que leur récit contient une vérité morale ou, le plus souvent, pour présenter ce dernier comme un compte-rendu factuel. Cette revendication de l'historicité fait intervenir la figure du narrateur témoin, garant de la véracité des faits relatés, ainsi que celle de l'éditeur de manuscrit, qui s'impose à partir des années 1700. Avec la parution de Joseph Andrews (1742) de Henry Fielding la fiction se met à exhiber sa propre fonctionnalité : elle devient autoréflexive<br>This dissertation explores the theoretical discourses and rhetorical devices used by writers to legitimate fiction at a time when it was considered immoral by moralists and despised by scholars. The use of such discourses and devices is found in titles, prefaces and throughout the narratives themselves ; they are employed to assert that the narratives contain moral truths or to assert their status as fact, thus rendering the narratives acceptable to the readership. The claim to authenticity is asserted by the figure of the narrator-as-witness, who guarantees the veracity of the facts relayed, and, from 1700 onwards, by that of the manuscript editor. Following the publication of Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews in 1742, the fiction of the period begins to flaunt its own fictionality, marking the emergence of self-reflexive fiction

Abstract:
This thesis examines representations of trust in selected British sentimental novels of the eighteenth century. It focuses principally on the manner in which sentimental prose fiction reflects and participates in the shift from premodern to modern formations of trust. Commenting on the nature of modern trust, Anthony Giddens claims that, with the move to modernity, trust relations in the intimate sphere become increasingly dependent on emotional mutuality, while trust in institutions becomes increasingly impersonal and disengaged from assessments of moral character.<br>My work explores this dual shift in three sentimental novels. It first analyzes Samuel Richardson's Pamela (1740) and contends that Richardson denies the concept of honor its epistemological role in practical deliberations. The denial of the epistemology of honor uncouples the mechanism of personal trust from assessments of role and role performance and thus makes the trust in persons in the intimate sphere less dependent on institutional forms of trust. To replace honor's role in the formation of trust, Richardson proposes that the sentiments can provide reliable grounds for trust in the intimate sphere. However, he denies the sentiments a role in the formation of an encompassing social trust among strangers and mere acquaintances. The thesis proceeds to read Henry Fielding's Amelia (1751). In order to argue that Fielding envisioned divergent grounds for trust relations, it maintains that Fielding considers trust relations in the intimate sphere and trust relations in public life as based on the sentiments and fair distribution respectively. To conclude, the thesis investigates Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield (1766) to uncover the manner in which Goldsmith distinguishes personal trust in the intimate sphere from general system trust, which Goldsmith ultimately envisions as an ontological trust in providence.

Abstract:
Cette thèse propose d'étudier la fiction anglaise de la première moitié du dix-huitième siècle en regard de la médecine populaire de la même époque. Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, Tobias Smollett and Laurence Sterne utilisent certains éléments du discours médical afin de justifier leur entreprise littéraire. Selon eux, la fiction peut prévenir le lecteur contre le vice (c'est l'époque de l'inoculation), ou même le guérir de ses maux. En suivant les trois étapes de la démarche médicale—décrire, prescrire, guérir— cette étude interdisciplinaire examine autour de quelles représentations de l'individu les discours fictionnels et médicaux se rejoignent, s'opposent, ou plus simplement se répondent. La description du vivant, essentielle à la médecine, devient l'intérêt de la fiction réaliste, qui se réfère métaphoriquement à certains schémas médicaux comme celui de la circulation sanguine. Les auteurs de fiction, comme ceux la médecine populaire et didactique, développent de nombreuses stratégies prescriptives : la lecture est alors censée aider le lecteur à organiser sa vie quotidienne, et guide la façon dont il doit s'occuper de son corps. Enfin, la fiction comme la médecine promettent de guérir le lecteur par le mouvement de l'exercice et de la purge, de la pensée et du rire. La satire opère un traitement plus corrosif que les écrivains justifient par la violence que le traitement médical inflige au corps souffrant<br>This study of Eighteenth-Century fiction and medicine (1719-1771) aims at presenting an interdisciplinary analysis of both discourses. Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, Tobias Smollett and Laurence Sterne use some elements of the medical discourse to justify their literary enterprise. They tend to argue that fiction can prevent the reader against vice, or even cure him. To study how medical and fictional discourse interact with each other, this analysis follows the tree steps of the medical process—description, prescription and treatment. The description of life—so essential to the medical thought—is becoming the vital concern of realistic fiction, which assimilates some medical principles such as circulation. Many prescriptive strategies are enacted by authors of fiction and medical doctors who write about domestic life, suggesting some proper ways of dealing with one's body. Finally, both fiction and medicine offer to cure through movement, by exercising and purging, thinking and laughing. Corrosive satirical laughs are assimilated to a certain healing violence often associated with the medical treatment
