The Fabrication of the Late-Victorian Femme Fatale

The Kiss of Death

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

This book examines the rise of the femme fatale as a prominant fictional type in late nineteenth-century British culture.

The book argues that Rider Haggard's She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed , Bram Stoker's female vampires and Conrad's destructive Malayan or African women, even Hardy's Tess , are all caught up in a series of late nineteenth-century contexts: biological determinism, imperialism, race, theories about female sexuality, degeneration and evolutionary theory.weiterlesen
