ÖĞR. ÜYESİ KERİM CAN YAZGÜNOĞLU􀀍  \nAbstract  \nMary Elizabeth Braddon’s Lady Audley’s Secret (1862), considered one of the best sensational novels in the Victorian age, offers a new space for re-considering identities, genders, and domestic ideals by demonstrating the transgression of the artificial boundaries established by the Victorian propriety. In doing so, the novel, with its questionings of marriage, home, and being woman and man, focuses on the protagonist Lady Audley’s nonconforming attempt to go beyond the Victorian domestic norms as she wears some masks to hide what she is. In this context, drawing upon gender studies, this article explores how gendered identities are produced and installed as the effects of discursive practices, and how Braddon breaks down the stability of genders in the novel by acknowledging gender performativity and gender fluidity. This destabilization raises broader questions about the female identity and identity politics of the Victorian age. In searching for some answers to these questions, the article scrutinizes how the novel challenges the trenchant patriarchal assumptions about genders and goes beyond hegemonic patriarchy.  \nKeywords: Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Lady Audley’s Secret, sensation novel, identities, genders, performativity  \nMARY ELIZABETH BRADDON’IN LADY AUDLEY’S SECRET ADLI ROMANINDA SANSASYON, TOPLUMSAL CİNSİYETLER VE KİMLİK POLİTİKASI  \nÖz  \nViktorya döneminin en iyi sansasyon romanlarından biri olarak kabul edilen Mary Elizabeth Braddon’ın Lady Audley’s Secret (1862), Viktorya dönemi görgü kuralları tarafından inşa edilenyapay sınırların ihlalini göstererek kimlikleri, cinsiyetleri ve eve ait idealleri yeniden düşünmekiçin yeni bir alan sunmaktadır. Bunu yaparken, roman, evlilik, ev, kadın ve erkek olmaya dairsorgulamalarıyla, başkahramanı Lady Audley'in ne olduğunu gizlemek için bazı maskelertakarken Viktorya döneminin eve ait normlarının ötesine geçme konusundaki geleneklereuymayan girişimine odaklanır. Bu bağlamda, toplumsal cinsiyet çalışmalarından yola çıkan bumakale, toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı kimliklerin söylemsel pratiklerin etkileri olarak nasıl üretildiğini ve yerleştirildiğini ve Braddon’ın toplumsal cinsiyet edimselliğini ve toplumsalcinsiyet akışkanlığını kabul ederek romandaki toplumsal cinsiyetlerin istikrarını nasıl yıktığını araştırıyor. Bu istikrarsızlaştırma, Viktorya döneminin kadın kimliği ve kimlik politikaları hakkındaki daha geniş soruları gündeme getirmektedir.

The sensational novel in this sense, as Laurie Garrison puts it, is rendered as “a curious phenomenon of the Victorian press”(2011, p. 1) .
