Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2014.

Orchestrating a conversation about literary character, the material culture of the realist novel, and Victorian museum culture, I argue in this dissertation that novels written in the "Age of the Museum" (c. 1830--1900) dramatize the struggle to come to terms with human ordinariness most poignantly in scenes of encounter between ordinary subjects and extraordinary objects.

520 $a Orchestrating a conversation about literary character, the material culture of the realist novel, and Victorian museum culture, I argue in this dissertation that novels written in the "Age of the Museum" (c. 1830--1900) dramatize the struggle to come to terms with human ordinariness most poignantly in scenes of encounter between ordinary subjects and extraordinary objects.
520 $a Examining Charlotte Bronte's Villette (1853), Charles Dickens's Bleak House (1852--53), George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss (1860), and key scenes from Henry James's fiction, I argue that characters attempt to symbolically and materially appropriate the distinctive value of extraordinary objects through what Pierre Bourdieu refers to as "strategies of distinction." In their pursuit of distinction, characters visit museums and museal spaces, scrutinize subjects and objects on view, formulate and express art critical opinions, discuss their museum visits with others, and collect, organize, exhibit, and preserve what they consider to be extraordinary objects.
520 $a As characters measure their distinctive value against that of extraordinary objects, they move through a social matrix in which subjects, objects, and practices are distinguished from one another through acts of distinction. Carried out through such practices as visual inspection of subjects and haptic interaction with objects, minute acts of distinction enable characters to classify subjects, objects, and practices into two broad categories: ordinary and extraordinary. Of course, these categories exist in oppositional relation to one another; all that is emplaced outside the domain of ordinariness exists in the domain of extraordinariness. Yet these domains are unstable, ever in flux as social tastes change. Ordinariness and extraordinariness thus emerge in the realist novel as variable social constructs, their meanings context-contingent.
520 $a Anchored to thing theory, this interdisciplinary dissertation integrates methods and perspectives from literary studies, museum studies, and art history to explain the relationship between the subject and the object in terms other than those of capitalism. It takes up questions about identity, the development of the self, and the relationship between the individual and both the material and the social world. Moreover, it returns to canonical texts with a fresh perspective and elucidates lesser-known artifacts of Victorian museum culture.
