Nicole C. Dittmer

Monstrous Women and Ecofeminism in the Victorian Gothic, 1837-1871

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Offering an ecofeminist approach to the interdisciplinary readings of the early-to-mid Victorian Gothic of both canonical narratives and ephemeral penny bloods and dreadfuls, Dittmer identifies assumed "monstrous" women as monistic mind-body figurations, who reject social confines and reclaim nature.
