Female sexuality as expressed both in the art of women and in images of women in art is the focus of this collection of thirteen essays -- the second in a three-volume series on women, the arts, and society. The idea that art created by a woman has a particular relationship to the female body is explored by most of these essays.
Writing and Filming the Painting
This innovative interdisciplinary study compares the uses of painting in literary texts and films. In developing a framework of four types of ekphrasis, the author argues for the expansion of the concept of ekphrasis by demonstrating its applicability as interpretive tool to films about the visual arts and artists.

El teatro en la España del siglo XIX
Este es el primer estudio exhaustivo que se hace sobre el teatro español del XIX, género de importancia capital que produjo más de 10.000 obras a lo largo del siglo. De todo este material –en su mayor parte desconocido hasta la fecha– David Gies incluye en su análisis los textos, la dimensión de las puestas en escena y la repercusión de los espectáculos. Su libro aclara aspectos sobre el drama político de la época de la invasión napoleónica, el teatro escrito por mujeres, el teatro socialista, el drama neorromántico, la relación entre parodia y corrientes teatrales dominantes, y el desafío dramático de Galdós. Este ameno estudio permitirá al fin que estudiantes y expertos puedan reconsiderar adecuadamente el canon textual.
