Wilkie Collins (New Casebooks)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This selection of 11 essays charts the most important aspects of the developing debate about Wilkie Collins's fiction in the last 20 years. The book employs a range of theoretical and methodological approaches, including reader response theory, narratology, psychoanalysis, deconstruction, cultural materialism, and a range of feminisms. The essays examine Collins's fiction from several perspectives: structural, generic and political (including gender politics). They focus on an author preoccupied with the production of social and psychological identity, and with issues of class, gender, and power. If there is a single issue which permeates this collection, it is the question of the subversiveness of Collins's fiction or, alternatively, its retreat from and/or containment of a radical social critique or subversive impulses. The pros and cons of this debate are explored further in Lyn Pykett's introduction. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR002285533
