Fictions du scandale: Corps féminin et réalisme romanesque au dix-neuviéme siécle

by Nathalie Rogers

Overview

According to Rogers, the nineteenth century was incapable of managing the feminine question and preferred to mythicize it. Everything that was related to it, especially feminine sexuality, was transformed into fiction. Thus women were saddled with the role of scapegoat.

Editorial Reviews

"Calling on the works of theoreticians from René Girard to Naomi Schor, Rogers manages to give an overview of feminist reworking of Freud–theories of perversion, schizophrenia, and hysteria–in a study at once lively and communicative. Scandal never had it so good." —Mary Ann Caws
