This book explores the intersections of gender with class and race in the construction of national and imperial ideologies and their fluid transformation from the Romantic to the Victorian period and beyond, exposing how these cultural constructions are deeply entangled with the family metaphor. For example, by examining the re-signification of the “angel in the house” and the deviant woman in the context of unstable or contingent masculinities and across discourses of class and nation, the volume contributes to a more nuanced understanding of British cultural constructions in the long nineteenth century. The central idea is to unearth the historical roots of the family metaphor in the construction of national and imperial ideologies, and to uncover the interests served by its specific discursive formation. The book explores both male and female stereotypes, enabling a more perceptive comparison, enriched with a nuanced reflection on the construction and social function of class.
»Spännande, vackert, förödande, romantiskt och fängslande... Den här boken kommer att fullkomligt sluka dig och få dig att längta efter mer.« | USA Today Celaena Sardothien har överlevt tre livsfarliga tävlingar och förödande hjärtesorg. Men det har kostat henne nästan allt. Nu är hon vilse och trasig inombords, och vill inget hellre än att utmäta hämnd för sin älskade vän som dog under ofattbart grymma omständigheter. Men i stället måste hon resa långt bort för att konfrontera en mörk sanning om sitt förflutna - något som fullständigt kan vända upp och ner på hennes liv - och också möta de brutala krafter som vill förslava hennes värld. Nu måste Celaena uppbåda all sin styrka för att bekämpa både sina egna demoner och den allomfattande ondska som hotar. SARAH J.
