Book Description

Publication Date: 1 July 1992
Through innovative and controversial readings of Victorian Gothic and 'sensation' fiction, this book interrogates current feminist assumptions about the relation of women to the private sphere, and reveals the unexpectedly radical potential of this association. It is argued that this potential is an intrinsic aspect of the 'female' Gothic tradition traceable back to Ann Radcliffe. A new typology of 'male' and 'female' Gothic is shown to be relevant to contemporary French feminist debates about sexual difference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Attention keeper, with some graphic scenes. 21 May 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Daughters of the House, by Michele Roberts, is a novel set in post World War II England and France. The two main characters, Therese and Leonie, first identified as cousins, later renamed another relation, live in the same house in France. This book depicts typical childhood in France. However, some scenes described are graphic and not recommended for younger readers. This book also describes children growing up in Catholicism. Roberts is very critical of Catholicism due to childhood experiences with the Church. This book kept my attention, however, her use of flashback and media res can be confusing. If you can handle the language, criticism of Catholicism, and the graphic scenes, this is the book for you.
