چکیده
Michael Greaney, “‘The Meaner & More Usual &c.’: Everybody in Emma” (pp. 417-440) This essay aims to read Jane Austen’s Emma (1815) not as a portrait of pampered individual but story collective or communal selfhood—that is, the everybody. “Everybody”—the term is used approximately one hundred times this novel—in both more and less than village neighborhood. Spread shared across people, discourses, bodies, institutions, “everybodiness” variously apprehended public opinion, ubiquitous gaze, repertoire constantly updated gossip-narratives, without ever being quite reducible any these. With mixture disdain disquiet, equates everybodiness with banal group-think, senseless chatter, lackluster mediocrity, oppressive sameness—but, even it thinks these superciliously undemocratic thoughts, novel grants “everybody” narrative space which contest terms its own marginalization.
