Product Information

In the Company of Strangers shows how a reconception of family and kinship underlies the revolutionary experiments of the modernist novel. While stories of marriage and long-lost relatives were a mainstay of classic Victorian fiction, Barry McCrea suggests that rival countercurrents within these family plots set the stage for the formal innovations of Joyce and Proust. Tracing the challenges to the family plot mounted by figures such as Fagin, Sherlock Holmes, Leopold Bloom, and Charles Swann, McCrea tells the story of how bonds generated by chance encounters between strangers come to take over the role of organizing narrative time and give shape to fictional worlds--a task and power that was once the preserve of the genealogical family. By investigating how the question of family is a hidden key to modernist structure and style, In the Company of Strangers explores the formal narrative potential of queerness and in doing so rewrites the history of the modern novel.

Reviews
In this stylish and intelligent work, McCrea offers a vision of something like the end of the Victorian family not as a social reality, since it is still with us, but as the imaginative heart of the good society. The modern novel as a genre, it turns out, reveals riches of queer metaphorical kinship that kinship doesn't know., Elegant... I recommend In the Company of Strangers both for its clarity, readability, and sophistication and for bringing to bear on Victorian texts important new insights from the burgeoning field of queer narratology., Elegant... I... recommend In the Company of Strangers both for its clarity, readability, and sophistication and for bringing to bear on Victorian texts important new insights from the burgeoning field of queer narratology., McCrea's work, original, well considered and detailed, offers fresh insight into vital, complex texts and brings queer theory usefully into contemporary debate when reconsidering such influential works., In this transformative account, McCrea shows how the stranger becomes a foundational figure, the random encounter the foundational event for the modern novel, prompting and justifying its formal innovations. The modernist embrace of non-genealogical forms of human connection is the great story recounted in this book, an exhilarating, utterly original, and moving work., McCrea has considered every alternative in cutting his own path from Dickens and Conan Doyle to Joyce and Proust. He mounts a sustained attack on the prevailing tendency to read these novelists as if the only form possible were the reestablishment of family genealogy. His simple—but absolutely brilliant—purpose is to give form to what, from the blinkered perspective of the family, seems to be formless., In the company of Strangers is an excellent book... McCrea's study is a must-read for those interested in narratology, Victorian and modernist prose fiction, queer theory, and the works of the novelists, including Joyce, under consideration, which are treated with sensitivity and intelligence., McCrea has considered every alternative in cutting his own path from Dickens and Conan Doyle to Joyce and Proust. He mounts a sustained attack on the prevailing tendency to read these novelists as if the only form possible were the reestablishment of family genealogy.
