Subjects on Display: Psychoanalysis, Social Expectation, and Victorian Femininity
ISBN: 9780821415481 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Subjects on Display Explores A Recurrent Figure at the heart of many nineteenth-century English novels; the retiring, self-effacing woman who is conspicuous by her inconspicuousness. Beth Newman draws upon both psychoanalytic theory and recent work in social history as she argues that this paradoxical figure, who often triumpha over more dazzling, eye-catching rivals, is a response to the forces that made personal display a vexed issue for Victorian women. Chief among these is the changing socioeconomic landacape in which the ideal of the modest woman outlived its usefulness as a class...

Inaugural Wounds: The Shaping of Desire in Five Nineteenth-Century English Narratives
ISBN: 9780821415634 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Desire, Jacques Lacan Suggests, Is A Condition or expression of our wounded nature. But because such desire is also unconscious, it can be expressed only indirectly, for what we consciously desire is hardly ever what we really want. Desire makes itself known, but disguises its presence - appearing, for example, in unconscious but repetitive, and sometimes even self-destructive, patterns of behavior. Informed by the voices of Freud and Lacan regarding the nature of language and desire, Inaugural Wounds examines the ways in which five major nineteenth-century English writers explored the...
