Curiosity, Surveillance and Detection in Charlotte Brontë's Villette

The article offers a contextualization of female curiosity by relating it to different characters who, in the course of Villette, adopt a criminal, sexual and clinical gaze and use it as a tool to make sense both of gendered and normative reality; I will discuss their self-fashioning in the light of — and as a response to — the constraints of the strictly patrolled and inquisitive patriarchal and religious community at the Pensionnat and in Villette as a whole. In reading the system of surveillance and detection at the Rue Fossette, I will relate questions of the marketability of commodified knowledge and a pseudo-scientific reliance on phrenology to Lucy Snowe's successful negotiation of this society by participating in an economics of love which remains untouched by the moral taint of espionage and the invasion and tradable uses of privacy.

Also approved at the business meeting: a new prize competition, handsomely funded by the Joseph Conrad Society of Great Britain, for three essays each year (one on HJ, one on JC, one on both), beginning in January, 1992 (watch this space for full announcement next issue).

Wives, Courtesans, and the Economics of Love in Jacobean City Comedy

There is, of course, nothing startling about the coupling of love and money on the stage. Marriage-seekers in dramatic comedy have always sought wealth as well the dowries of Glycerie in Terence's The Woman of Andros, of Millamant in Congreve's The Way of the World, and of Barbara Undershaft in Shaw's Major Barbara, for example, all figure prominently in the action of those plays, and are part of the conventions of the form. But the persistence with which certain Stuart playwrights dwelt upon economic theory and practice transcends those conventions, and makes their plays unique commentaries upon the economic life of the society which produced them. It is not necessary to believe, as some scholars do, that such writers as Marston, Dekker, Heywood, Jonson, and Middleton intended to depict, or did in fact depict, anything so majestic as The Rise of Capitalism itself. We need only acknowledge that many of the participants in that vast and ponderous upheaval substantial merchants, small shopkeepers, impoverished gentlemen, adventurers and entrepreneurs are portrayed with some realism in city comedies, and almost nowhere else. And though Brian Gibbons is correct in maintaining that these works not present in any useful sense 'a keen analysis in economic terms' ... of the actual conditions of the times,2 it is well to keep in mind the fact that, if the plays do not analyze economic
