An English cover-up: masks, murders, and English cruelty in Goncourt, Lorrain, and Schwob
Fin-de-siĂšcle writers from diverse disciplines were drawn to the seductive potential of masks and disguise; mask-wearing characters of indefinite identity, indeterminate gender, and insecure psychology proliferate in their texts. However, when characters are designated as English in such stories, they are also, and with remarkable frequency, associated with cruelty or murder: the mask-wielding murderers of Marcel Schwobâs âMM. Burke et Hare, Assassinsâ carry out their crimes in Britain upon British victims; Edmond de Goncourt weaves his theatrical narrative around the mask-like demeanour of Lord Annandale in La Faustin; and Jean Lorrainâs malicious Lord Ethal exacerbates the Duc de FrĂ©neuseâs perverse obsessions with masks in Monsieur de Phocas. This article explores this unexpected correlation, and examines the ways that English masks are used as narrative devices â at once to mould and play with national distinctions, and to reflect upon the psychological state of the French subject
