Chapter 1 Introduc+on: Projec+ng Literary Invisibility Studies -- Chapter 2 "Compound Invisible Objects": The Inscrutability of Character and Rhetorical Ethos in Eighteenth-Century Novelis+c Narra+ves -- Chapter 3 Invisible Lovers: Triadic Character Constella+ons and Perspec+ves of Social Recogni+on in Roman+c Poetry and Prose -- Chapter 4 Invisible Monsters: Uncanny Whiteness and Inhuman -- Characters in Nineteenth-Century Transatlan+c Gothic -- 5 Invisible Author: Weak Character, Un-Visible People, and the Modernist Text -- 6 The In/Visible You: Unseeing Characters, Images of the Self, and Contemporary Surveillance Narra+ves -- 7 Conclusion: The Third Sphere of Invisibility.

In/Visible Subjects explores the cultural fascination with invisible characters in literature. While the concept of social invisibility is common in contemporary political discourse, there exists no comprehensive analysis of the history of the cultural metaphor of invisibility. This book addresses this gap by tracing the literary evolution of invisibility in narratives from the eighteenth century to the present. The monograph examines literal and metaphorical invisibility in terms of both content and form, offering exemplary readings of literary texts by: eighteenth-century women novelists Eliza Haywood and Susanna Rowson; Romantic poets Anna Letitia Barbauld and John Keats; nineteenth-century writers of fantasy and science fiction, including James Forbes Dalton, Fitz-James O'Brien, and H.G. Wells; early and mid-twentieth-century authors such as G.K. Chesterton, Virginia Woolf, and Ralph Ellison; and contemporary writers China Miéville and Jennifer Egan. In/Visible Subjects aims to establish a new foundation in literary studies for the emerging field of invisibility studies. It is of interest to students and scholars in literary and cultural studies working on narrative, literary character, subjectivity, and identity. Gero Guttzeit teaches English Literature at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Munich, Germany. He has held visiting professorships at Milwaukee, Freiburg, and Tübingen. His work is guided by theoretical interests in authorship, character, and rhetoric. He has published widely on nineteenth-century and contemporary literature and is the author of The Figures of Edgar Allan Poe: Authorship, Antebellum Literature, and Transatlantic Rhetoric (2017).
