摘要

The nineteenth century was a period in which women found themselves oppressed and circumscribed like never before. As the relationship between visual art and literature has gathered increasing interest in recent years, scholars have concentrated on how cultural productions served to further this enclosure by creating a vision of woman as either inherently dangerous or passive. For instance, in Idols of Perversity, Bram Dijkstra examines actual paintings, arguing that the forms of art and literature conspired to create a war of words and images in which the so-called "iconography of misogyny" took center-stage. In this study, I turn the focus away from literal paintings, and onto literary representations of artwork, or ekphrasis as this phenomenon has come to be known. I argue that this process allows women to be seen as not only painted, but also framed. My study then examines the ways in which this frame functions, combining an examination of a range of nineteenth-century texts with the new and burgeoning frame scholarship. The concept of the frame reveals female protagonists as not only enclosed within pictures, but also within more everyday objects, and even language itself. I argue that the device of the frame reveals women to be not only enclosed within circumscribed roles, but also severed from essential parts of their own identities. Because of the power held by the frame, attempts to escape its reaches were almost always unsuccessful, and often futile. Only by writing about the frame and enclosing it within their own interpretive surrounds could these women begin to leave its gilded edges, and create positions for themselves within society as a whole.
