Paradoxical Feminism: The Novels of Rebecca West by Ann V. Norton (English) Hard

Description: Paradoxical Feminism by Ann V. Norton Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A study of the career of the writer, Rebecca West. West was a feminist intellectual and artist. The author analyzes her ten novels and articulates Wests views on men and women as well as the political and social realms of 20th-century Europe. Publisher Description The first book on Rebecca West that is solely devoted to her fiction, Paradoxical Feminism examines Wests many and contradictory ideas concerning women and their relationships with men. Although West wrote disparagingly of Western patriarchal culture throughout her journalistic career, her novels show a surprising belief in and desire for male dominance. Ann Norton perceptively analyzes this paradox in Wests work, demonstrating that West undermines her own feminism with this theme of male supremacy. Each chapter investigates different aspects of Wests paradoxical feminism through close readings of her novels characters, themes, and plots. These include her attitudes toward women as artists and professionals; women as subjects and objects in mens and womens narratives; women and men as parents; women and men in marriage; and the use of female "magic" as both a female language and a force for evil. Meticulously researched and well written, this fascinating work is a must-read for those with an interest in 20th century literature and feminism. Author Biography Ann V.
