Sororophobia: Differences Among Women in Literature and Culture
ISBN: 9780195073874 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book looks at how differences among women have been textually represented at a variety of historical moments and in a variety of cultural contexts, including Victorian mainstream fiction, African-American mulatto novels, late twentieth-century lesbian communities, and contemporary country music. Sororophobia designates the complex and shifting relations between women's attempts to identify with other women and their often simultaneous desire to establish and retain difference.

Flesh Made Word: Female Figures and Women's Bodies
ISBN: 9780195060812 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Helena Michie's provocative new work looks at how women's bodies are portrayed in a variety of Victorian literary and non-literary genres--from painting, poems, and novels, to etiquette, books, sex manuals, and pornography. After identifying a series of codes and taboos that govern the depiction of women in such activities as eating and working, she then turns to the physical descriptions of Victorian heroines, focusing on those parts of their bodies that are erased, and on those that become fetishized in conventional description. Her vivid analysis moves forward in time with a consideration...

Victorian Honeymoons: Journeys to the Conjugal
ISBN: 9780521123563 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While Victorian tourism and Victorian sexuality have been the subject of much critical interest, there has been little research on a characteristically nineteenth-century phenomenon relating to both sex and travel: the honeymoon, or wedding journey. Although the term 'honeymoon' was coined in the eighteenth century, the ritual increased in popularity throughout the Victorian period, until by the end of the century it became a familiar accompaniment to the wedding for all but the poorest classes. Using letters and diaries of 61 real-life honeymooning couples, as well as novels from...

ISBN: 9781474406635 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Part biography, part detective novel, part love story, and part meditation on archival research, Love Among the Archives is an experiment in writing a life. This is the story of two literary critics' attempts to track down Sir George Scharf, the founding director of the National Portrait Gallery in London, famous in his day and strangely obscure in our own. After discovering Scharf's scrapbook of menus and invitations from England's most stately homes, the authors began their adventures in the archives of London, searching Scharf's diaries, sketchbooks, and letters for traces of the man who...

ISBN: 9780813524337 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When a woman in the United States becomes pregnant or tries to become pregnant, she enters a world of information, technology, and expertise. Suddenly her body becomes public in a new way: medicine, law, and popular culture all offer her sometimes contradictory expert advice. This text explores the advice offered to pregnant and infertile women by examining assumptions about femininity, class, and the reproductive body that structure the language of expertise. Even advice books written from a specifically countercultural or feminist point of view often attempt to police the way women think...
