The Adulteress's Child: Authorship and Desire in the Nineteenth-century Novel...
The Adulteress's Child: Authorship and Desire in the Nineteenth-century Novel\n\nNaomi Segal\n\nPolity Press\n\nThis book examines the relation between mothers and their sons and daughters and the way in which these relations are expressed in fictional texts. In male\u2013authored novels of adultery in French, English, German and Russian, the desired woman often has sons to whom she is tied more bindingly than to her husband; a more direct rival to the lover, a son often falls ill and potentially threatens the affair \u2013 thus the woman is kept after all within the patriarchal chain. Using a variety of literary sources and drawing upon recent feminist and psychoanalytical theory, Naomi Segal addresses questions such as: What place does the mother seek for herself in the chain between fathers and sons or between mothers and daughters?\n\n \n\nPlease note: All our listings are made by volunteers who endeavour to be as accurate as possible, often in areas in which they are not fa.
