Abstract
Using the concept of romantic irony theorized by F. Schlegel and Kierkegaard, the author interprets gender in Jane Austen's Emma and Philip Roth's Sabbath's Theater, showing how ideas of masculinity and femininity have been thoroughly undermined and that, in a vital ironic gesture, nothing has been allowed to replace them.
