Description

One corner is bumped. Light shelfwear. ; Signed by author: "To Lillian Feder-- who helped me find the path that would lead to this book and guided my first steps along the way. With warm regards, Lillian" ; Contributions to the Study of World Literature; 0.95 x 9.56 x 6.38 Inches; 264 pages; Corti focuses on the meaning and importance of the act of child murder in literary treatments of the ancient myth. She insists on the connection between the structure of tragedy and the psychology of abuse, arguing that the tragedy of Medea dramatizes the violent hostility toward children, which is always potentially present in patriarchal culture despite the conspicuous emphasis on positive descriptions of parental love in officially sanctioned discourse. ; Signed by Author
