Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 1999.

With the early formulations of the Oxford Movement in the 1830s, the prevailing narratives of English national and historical identity were fundamentally challenged as the questions of the historical grounding and political ramifications of Protestant religious and social control became increasingly charged. This dissertation argues that the rhetorical and narrative structures of the Gothic provide a template for the urgent questions of national and sexual identity raised by the religious controversies of the nineteenth century, particularly the controversies involving Roman Catholicism. The Victorian appropriations of the Gothic, as the genre of the buried and terrible secret, situate these controversies within the larger framework of the nineteenth-century crisis in knowledge and categorization, appropriating and mining anxiety around the question of category as it applies to the notion of normative Englishness, manliness, and heterosexuality.

520 $a With the early formulations of the Oxford Movement in the 1830s, the prevailing narratives of English national and historical identity were fundamentally challenged as the questions of the historical grounding and political ramifications of Protestant religious and social control became increasingly charged. This dissertation argues that the rhetorical and narrative structures of the Gothic provide a template for the urgent questions of national and sexual identity raised by the religious controversies of the nineteenth century, particularly the controversies involving Roman Catholicism. The Victorian appropriations of the Gothic, as the genre of the buried and terrible secret, situate these controversies within the larger framework of the nineteenth-century crisis in knowledge and categorization, appropriating and mining anxiety around the question of category as it applies to the notion of normative Englishness, manliness, and heterosexuality.
520 $a Since the social and religious transgressions suggested by much Gothic fiction typically function in tandem with sexual transgression, the evocation of Gothic narrative as a rhetorical strategy frequently raises the specter of sexual deviance concomitant with Catholic allegiance. Thus a fuller understanding of the now much-theorized development of the nineteenth-century construction of sexuality necessitates an examination of the way that issue is deeply implicated in the cultural fantasy of religious normativity and deviance. The rhetoric of the Gothic throughout the later nineteenth century directs both its ideological attack and its aesthetics of fascination onto those two discursively related phenomena, the development of a theory and language of deviant sexual identity and the re-introduction into England of Roman Catholic practice and hierarchy.
520 $a The dissertation situates these questions of sexual and religious deviance within the Gothic tradition as it has been conventionally described, within psychoanalytic criticism itself, and within the historical context of nineteenth-century literary and controversialist production, from Newman's Apologia and Ruskin's Stones of Venice to Pater's Renaissance and from Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret to Stoker's Dracula, Le Fanu's Carmilla, Wilde's Dorian Gray, and Hardy's Jude the Obscure, reading the representations of sexual and religious transgression not as discrete phenomena but as mutually-constructive versions of national dissidence.
