主讲内容：

Focusing on the sentimental vignette of Laurence Sterne’s character of poor Maria, who is introduced in both Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey, this presentation will introduce a hitherto neglected aspect of her reception: material-textual versions of the figure based on a design by Angellica Kauffman. Recognized as a paradigmatic visual-interpretive casting of Sterne’s Maria, Kauffman’s design circulated initially in the form of a print but was subsequently adopted for a varied and multi-modal material culture ranging from jewellery and silk work pictures to furniture and porcelain. These visually enhanced media served as storytelling devices that shaped both the readability of Kauffman’s Maria and an understanding of Sterne’s source text, at the same time that the objects’ use and purpose informed how they contributed to rendering the character’s story. The presentation will contextualize how the image of Maria transplanted onto a range of material culture signified as part of the reading history of Sterne’s vignette but also how issues of gendered reading and making adapted the character for different ends, including courtship and mourning.
