The Agency of Objects in English Prose, 1789-1832: Conspicuous
Things engages with new materialist methodologies to examine
shifting perceptions of nonhuman agency in English prose at the
turn of the nineteenth century. Examining texts as diverse as
it-narratives, the juvenile writings and novels of Jane Austen, De
Quincey's autobiographical writings, and silver fork novels,
Nikolina Hatton demonstrates how object agency is viewed in this
period as constitutive-not just in regard to human subjectivity but
also in aesthetic creation. Objects appear in these novels and
short prose works as aids, intermediaries, adversaries, and
obstructions, as well as both intimately connected to humans and
strangely alien. Through close readings, the book traces how object
agency, while sometimes perceived as a threat by authors and
characters, also continues to be understood as a source of the
delightfully unexpected-in everyday life as well as in narrative.
