Opis

Focusing on their conception and use of the notion of the mother, Modernism, Self-Creation, and the Maternal　proposes a new interpretation of literature by modernist authors like Rousseau, Baudelaire, Poe, Rimbaud, Rilke, Joyce, and Beckett.

Recenzje

"Overall, Modernism, Self-Creation, and the Maternal: The Mother’s Son is an important reconsideration of numerous canonical male-written modernist texts, including Derrida’s own. Through the lens of Derridean deconstruction, it exposes the effects of, and thus validates the power within the ever present maternal." - Ashley Byczkowski, Nardin Academy
