dc.subjectThrough close-readings of the ambiguous deuteragonist Gil-Martin and the novel as disciplinary mechanism, this thesis explores irrationality and counter-enlightenment in James Hogg’s The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. This thesis argues that Hogg’s novel critiques Enlightenment rationality and the realist novel’s disciplinary role in establishing and regulating a normative social order.
