“That Flexible Flageolet”: Music, Homophobia, and Anti-Semitism in George Du Maurier's Trilby
by
Peak, Anna
2019
Freud argued in Totem and Taboo (1918) that where there is taboo there is also desire; we might reverse this idea slightly with regard to Trilby to say that where there is conflicted desire there is, and must also be, taboo, in order to contain and manage the troubling aspects of desire. That is, the novel is willing to portray with sympathy women dressed as men, men obsessed with feet, and groups of men living, wrestling, and sleeping together, only when (and because) anxiety regarding and fear of gender transgression is displaced onto the scapegoat figure of the effeminate Jew Svengali. Du Maurier's novel is undoubtedly progressive in many ways, but its progressivism is carried on the back of its anti-Semitism. Trilby can express transgressive desires only by simultaneously displacing anxiety regarding those desires and particularly anxiety about masculinity onto the figure of the foreigner and the Jew. This displacement suggests something, not only about the personal psychology of Du Maurier, but about the reasons his novel appealed to such a large audience, and even suggests a new way of thinking about why racism and anti-Semitism were on the increase at the fin de siècle.

Trilby, Paul
2004
As [Paul Trilby] is forced to face the character flaws that led to his collapsed life, he also discovers some pretty creepy goings-on at TxDoGS. What's that shuffling sound above the blandly beige ceiling tiles? Is something sinister lurking in the recycling bin? Who are the pale men in neckties who show up everywhere he goes, and why do their teeth look so sharp? As these mysteries unravel, Paul also navigates a new relationship with the TxDoGS mail-room girl and tries to get the ghost of his ex-wife's cat to stop phantom-peeing all over his cheap furnished apartment. Yes, it's a busy life for Paul.

2015

Gains over the past two weeks were the smallest in two months, Lundberg said. \"Gas prices should already be falling but are still adjusting to minor bumps in the oil market,\" AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in his weekly fuel-price briefing. \"There is plenty of oil to go around, but speculators are latching onto any hope for a recovery in prices.\"
