No Man's Land: The Place of the Woman Writer in the Twentieth Century, Volume 2: Sexchanges
ISBN: 9780300050257 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 483 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What might sex be, and what could sex roles be, in the midst of a war between men and women? What is a "woman," a "man," an "androgyne"? Such questions haunt the works Gilbert and Gubar study in Sexchanges, the second volume of their landmark trilogy No Man's Land. Investigating the connections between the feminine and the modern made by writers from Rider Haggard, Olive Schreiner, and Kate Chopin to Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, and Caryl Churchill, they show that the "no man's land" of the Great War became a metaphor for a...

Seneca wrote, "Anyone can stop a man's life but no one his death; a...

Edited by Brenda Lyons with an...
