|l Abstract: Representations of friendship in the early English novel are instrumental to the discursive production of middle-class desire and the social relations which manage this desire. Trough close readings of friendship and courtship in Aphra Behn's Oroonoko (1688), Samuel Richardson's Clarissa (1748), Frances Burney's Evelina (1778) and Cecilia (1782), and Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolfo (1792), I show how friendship naturalizes gender and clase relations promoted by the courtship plot. Courtship and friendship narratives work together to (re)produce the subjects and objects required for fictions of middle-class identity. Friendship is not important because it is feminine, egalitarian, or asexual. I argue that friendship is important precisely because it is repeatedly represented and interpreted as such. My methodology is principally informed by René Girard's structuralist account of desire and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's gender-oriented revision of Girard's model. I am committed to a constructive critical practice that uses deconstructive interpretive techniques to unpack the contradictory discourses at work in a text. Bakhtin's concepts of heteroglossia and dialogism and Judith Butler's theory of performative gender are useful in considering the relation of courthship and friendship plots. Michel Foucault's influence is also evident, for my analysis of friendship as a central ideological structure and practice in the novel locates friendship at the nexus, not margins, of ideological consensus. Beginning with Oroonoko, I discuss how Behn's shifting representations of friendship and her feminization of the black hero within the frame of female friendship expose anxiety in dominant racial, gender, and class relations. With Clarissa, I explore the mediating and disruptive function of Clarissa and Anna's friendship within the courtship plot. Their friendship represents not an evasion of male desire, but a normalizing practice of reshaping and domesticating heterosexual desire and gender identity. Next, I address the heroine's fantasy of friendship with the father and lover and a pervasive incest anxiety in Burney's Evelina and Cecilia. The final chapter on The Mysteries of Udolfo shows how friendship redefines middle-class desire in a context of family relations. (Source: DAO).
