Bøger af Rachel Feder

"An examination of how the romantic narrative from Pride and Prejudice was born out of Gothic horror, how it influenced pop culture since its publishing, and how it has reinforced harmful cultural concepts of real-life romance"--

Explores how Mary Shelley's exchanges with her children - in utero, in birth, in life, and in death - infuse her literary creations. Drawing on the archives of feminist scholarship, Rachel Feder theorizes ""elective affinities"", a term she borrows from Goethe to interrogate how the personal attachments of literary critics shape our sense of literary history.
