디킨즈의 『블리크 하우스』에 나타난 자민족중심주의 --영국성, 인종, 젠더의 관점에서

초록

In Bleak House, Charles Dickens reinforces the idea of superior Englishness through the replication of the English space, Bleak House, contributing to the creation and dissemination of English culture. However, it cannot be overlooked that in this process, Dickens becomes immersed in ethnocentrism, not only demeaning racial otherness, such as Africans or Native Americans but also expressing disdain towards Frenchness. Additionally, Dickens exhibits a pronounced aversion to women actively engaging in the public sphere, deeming them nonconformists and un-English. In the process of Dickens praising the superiority of Englishness, it is undeniable that racial and gender discriminatory attitudes become evident.
