These mothers rarely strike the reader as attractive personalities and, in their mothering role, are portrayed as inadequate, abusive or even murderous. A pattern of maternal failure is passed on from mother to daughter and the relationship between mothers and daughters is one of rejection and suppression. This book explores what this negative representation tells us about mothers and about how mothers represent their own mothering to themselves. Close readings of text and intertext are at the centre of the analytic approach, embracing references to existing commentaries on the author and to the psychoanalytic, mythological, religious and literary background against which NDiaye’s mothers demand to be read.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 400gAuthor: Pauline EatonGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Studies in Contemporary Women’s WritingTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Society & CultureContributor: Gill Rye (Series edited by)Release Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
