Victorian Heroines by Kimberley Reynolds
A radical revision of Victorian constructions of femininity is proposed and developed in this book. Using a wide range of textual examples and visual illustrations, it argues against the crude dyadic model which has prevailed over recent decades. In its place it suggests a more complex paradigm simultaneously able to conceal and reveal contradictory attitudes to Victorian womanhood. The book explores the highly erotic fantasy elements frequently found in widely disseminated "orthodox" female images. Works about femininity for different ages and classes are also considered.| SKU | Unavailable |
