Description

Explore the historical construction of the femme fatale in this academic study from the Women's Studies at York Series. This book examines how the dangerous female archetype emerged as a prominent fictional type within late nineteenth-century British culture. By analyzing the way this stereotype was fabricated, the text looks at how these figures were woven into the social fabric of the fin-de-siecle. The research connects literary characters to the specific cultural anxieties of the era. You will find deep analysis of Rider Haggard's She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, Bram Stoker's female vampires, and the destructive women found in the works of Joseph Conrad. This work connects literature to the heavy influences of the late 1800s, including biological determinism, imperialism, and race. It also examines how theories regarding female sexuality, degeneration, and evolutionary theory shaped the way authors like Thomas Hardy portrayed characters such as Tess. This is a significant resource for students and scholars of literary theory and Victorian history.
