Revolutionary Subjects in the English 'Jacobin' Novel, 1790-1805

Revolutionary Subjects in the English "Jacobin" Novel engages ongoing debates on subject formation and rights discourse through the so-called "English Jacobin" novels. Wallace argues that subversive narrative strategies in fiction undercut and question the sovereign subject modeled as the ideal republican radical subject and describe a discourse that is not always in line with the work's overt "moral."
