The Forgotten Generation: French Women Writers of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Milligan, Jennifer, PUBLISHER: Berg Publishers, As a wave of open misogyny swept through French literature and society in the aftermath of the Great War, a new generation of professional women writers took up pen to redress the situation. They disputed the prescriptive social and cultural roles ascribed to women and proposed inspiring new definitions of womanhood. Many critics today are oblivious to women's literary achievements during this period, which remain subject to severe critical neglect. This book analyzes and challenges the way in which these important women writers have been marginalized in the annals of French literary history and offers fresh readings and reappraisals of their thematically and aesthetically innovative works.

Scandalous Behavior: Advice on Dating for Women and Love

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carroll, Richard, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, I have hung out with girls all my life, who I think are more intelligent than men, and the only form of communication I had where I could learn anything of substance was from women. When you are always in the company of women, you always hear both sides of the real story, not the macho and overly exaggerated facts that men give. So really, in essence, women made me the womanizer that I became. I learned so much about women being around them on a constant basis. It's like a wolf among sheep. Women have an overwhelming desire to mother you or to think that they can mold you and try to change you into the imaginary man or husband that they really want, when most women themselves don't really know. That's the principal reason I wrote this novel.

Crossing the Divide: Representations of Deafness in

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hartig, Rachel M., PUBLISHER: Gallaudet University Press, This remarkable volume examines the process by which three deaf, French biographers from the 19th and 20th centuries attempted to cross the cultural divide between deaf and hearing worlds through their work. The very different approach taken by each writer sheds light on determining at what point an individual's assimilation into society endanger his or her sense of personal identity. Author Hartig begins by assessing the publications of Jean-Ferdinand Berthier (). Berthier wrote about Auguste Bebian, Abbe de l'Epee, and Abbe Sicard, all of whom taught at the National Institute for the Deaf in Paris. Although Berthier presented compelling portraits of their entire lives, he paid special attention to their political and social activism, his main interest. Yvonne Pitrois () pursued her particular interest in the lives of deaf-blind people. Her biography of Helen Keller focused on her subject's destiny in conjunction with her unique relationship with Anne Sullivan. Corinne Rocheleau-Rouleau () recounted the historical circumstances that led French-Canadian pioneer women to leave France. The true value of her work resides in her portraits of these pioneer women: maternal women, warriors, religious women, with an emphasis on their lives and the choices they made. "Crossing the Divide" reveals clearly the passion these biographers shared for narrating the lives of those they viewed as heroes of an emerging French deaf community. All three used the genre of biography not only as a means of external exploration but also as a way to plumb their innermost selves and to resolve ambivalence about their own deafness.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bell, Ilona, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, During Elizabeth I's reign, love poetry acquired a popularity and brilliance unparalleled in English literary history.

Unsex'd Revolutionaries: Five Women Novelists of the 's

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ty, Eleanor, PUBLISHER: University of Toronto Press, Women had been writing long before the French Revolution, but the reactionary character of the s infused their work with a public importance and an urgency. The decade was one of intense argument and reflection on the role of women in society. Eleanor Ty studies the ways in which five women writers of the s politicized the domestic or sentimental novel in response to oppression and exclusion. Influenced by radical post-revolution thinkers, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Hays, Helen Maria Williams, Elizabeth Inchbald, and Charlotte Smith wrote fiction that questioned existing social, economic, legal and cultural practices as they related to women. In particular, they dealt with historically specific gender issues such as female education, the rights and 'wrongs' of woman, and the duties of a wife. Using historical and feminist psycho-linguistic studies as a base, Ty explores some of the complexities encountered in the writings of these five women. Through their challenge to Edmund Burke's patriarchal ideas, they discovered strategies of writing based on the maternal or female aesthetic. For these 'unsex'd revolutionaries, ' sentimental or domestic fiction was not just about courtship, love, and romance. Their writings interrogate the structures of society, and criticize and make relevant the connections between the personal and the political, the domestic and the public sphere.
