It is no coincidence that early modern England witnessed a “surprising concentration of interest” in Quixote for it was a literary and cultural trope, by and through which contemporaries reinscribed their self-consciousness as modern readers. As diverse as they were, modern critics have read in Eighteenth-century Quixotes conflicting stories about contemporary readers’ self-consciousness, while at the same time underscoring the way in which they reflected and mediated the period's prescriptive discourse of reading. And Samuel Johnson, a literary icon of the contemporary's anti-novel discourse, has served to highlight modern critics’ overriding view of diverse voices in English Quixotes. Examining Johnson's notion of human desires and illusionary hopes in The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia, therefore, this study attempts to locates him, along with the writers such as Charlotte Lennox and Jane Austen, within a cultural history of English Quixotes who were then on their way to refashioning themselves. Johnson’s idea of human desire and hope stems from his profound understanding of the paradoxical nature inherent within an individual reader's Quixotic projection of his/her desire, which is also found in the discursive battles that English Quixotes fought for their new identity as modern readers.
Abstract
It is no coincidence that early modern England witnessed a “surprising concentration of interest” in Quixote for it was a literary and cultural trope, by and through which contemporaries reinscribed their self-consciousness as modern readers. As diverse as they were, modern critics have read in Eighteenth-century Quixotes conflicting stories about contemporary readers’ self-consciousness, while at the same time underscoring the way in which they reflected and mediated the period's prescriptive discourse of reading. And Samuel Johnson, a literary icon of the contemporary's anti-novel discourse, has served to highlight modern critics’ overriding view of diverse voices in English Quixotes. Examining Johnson's notion of human desires and illusionary hopes in The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia, therefore, this study attempts to locates him, along with the writers such as Charlotte Lennox and Jane Austen, within a cultural history of English Quixotes who were then on their way to refashioning themselves. Johnson’s idea of human desire and hope stems from his profound understanding of the paradoxical nature inherent within an individual reader's Quixotic projection of his/her desire, which is also found in the discursive battles that English Quixotes fought for their new identity as modern readers.
