摘要
âIn 1934 Miles Franklin described Eleanor Darkâs second novel, Prelude to Christopher, as âa terribly beautiful piece of workâ (128). One of Darkâs earliest critics, Franklin attributed the bookâs strength to the authorâs deft handling of a tragic theme and âthe urge to speak the naked truthâ (125). Later critics emphasised the bookâs experimental style, especially its skilled handling o the multiple viewpoints, flashbacks and interior monologues associated with high modernism. By contrast, recent critics have focused on the novelâs subject matter and Darkâs engagement with the biopolitical norms that manifested in eugenics. This essay pursues that focus. It aims to flesh out the ways in which Darkâs novel registers the potential impact of eugenics on liberal conceptions of freedom and to explore some of the ways in which it attempts to reclaim that freedomâ¦' (From authorâs introduction p. 76)
