Pamela A. Pears

Front Cover Iconography and Algerian Women's Writing

Heuristic Implications of the Recto-Verso Effect

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is situated between studies of the material object of the book and Algerian women's writing. It examines the iconographic depictions on book covers of three of the most studied francophone writers today, Assia Djebar, Nina Bouraoui, and Malika Mokeddem, among others, and shows how these covers have controlled the reception and interpretation of Algerian women's writing.
