摘要、提要註:
"Literature and the Party System in Britain, 1760--1830" argues that the tumultuous and sharply divided political situation in Britain and its fracturing global Empire following the accession of George III precipitated dramatic and enduring changes in literary authorship. In asking how the interlocking perspectives of a diverse array of writers, thinkers, artists, and political actors confronted the inchoate status of "party," it reveals how a period that witnessed the disintegration of the existing party system---and the subsequent reinvention of "Whig" and "Tory" identities---compelled authors to imagine new forms for individual agency and collective belonging. By resituating the works of authors including Laurence Sterne, Samuel Johnson, Maria Edgeworth, and Lord Byron amidst a contested field of political debate---including works by Horace Walpole, Edmund Burke, David Hume, Adam Smith, and the satirist "Junius," as well as an expansive network of newspapers, pamphlets, and political expression---this dissertation reveals how literature came into focus as the site of innovative strategies for navigating, containing, overcoming, or otherwise reimagining party divides. Drawing on the historical legacies encoded within party identities inherited from the previous century and the aftereffects of the recent upheaval in the decades surrounding the American Revolution, these authors challenged newly repressive norms of governance, authority, and selfhood. In allowing us to disrupt undirectional accounts of the transition into the nineteenth century, their works enable us to plot alternative pathways through the Romantic age, and into our own divided present.

Drawing attention to a multifaceted picture of the "revolutionary" change over this extended period, "Literature and the Party System" decenters assumptions about the monolithic break represented by the French Revolution. Drawing on interdisciplinary accounts of evolving conceptions of power, authority, the nation, Empire, and the "individual" over the wider 1760--1830 period, this dissertation reveals the interrelated transformations that the global "age of revolutions" brought home to Britain and Ireland. In line with recent reappraisals of political stability and constitutional debate in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world---the divisive legacies of Britain's 1688--9 Revolution in particular---it shows how authors negotiated the clash between the contested legacies of the past and the shifting demands of the present. As they navigated competing conceptions of governance and imagined alternative perspectives on politics and "the political," these authors transformed the shape and status of English literature in enduring ways.

The authors that provide the focus, respectively, for the four main chapters of the dissertation---Sterne, Johnson, Edgeworth, and Byron---were variously involved in party politics, yet they also stood at complex removes from the factious "public sphere" of debate. As they encountered the challenge of balancing political commitments with competing identities, they developed alternative visions of collectivity, unity, and truth to the self-grounding stances of the Romantic age. In chapters on the "opinions" of Sterne's protagonist in The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1760) and on the complex "authority" of Samuel Johnson, I reveal how the respective breaks within Whig history and Tory ideology compelled these authors to establish new ways of articulating continuity with the past. The chapter on the Anglo-Irish fiction of Maria Edgeworth employs the "discontents" identified by Edmund Burke to reveal submerged circuits of agency and feeling in her novel The Absentee (1812), while the concluding chapter similarly shows how Lord Byron's commitments to poetic and political "opposition" led him beyond the nineteenth century to this earlier moment of contestation in the party system.
