The Politics of Public Opinion: Trollope''s 'Tenth Muse' takes as its subject the rise of public opinion in the nineteenth-century British novel as (1) a uniquely collective narrative form posing as a singular voice and (2) a "voice" that distances itself from re-sponsibility by disguising its presence. As both immanent and transcendent, public opinion is aligned with "empty universals" that generate meaning.
Author Biography
Jan B. Gordon was one of a group of six foreign academics invited to professorships at National Universities in Japan when the law was changed in 1983 prohibiting non-Japanese from holding such positions. He was granted Emeritus Status in 2004 and from 2007 to 2014 was a distinguished professor at Kyoto Women's Department of English. He was therefore initially what is known as a white (affirmative action) appointment.
