Description

This scholarly examination traces how the femme fatale emerged as a dominant fictional archetype in late nineteenth-century British literature. The book analyses how authors including Rider Haggard, Bram Stoker, Joseph Conrad and Thomas Hardy constructed this dangerous woman stereotype within the cultural anxieties of the fin-de-siecle period. Through rigorous literary criticism, it explores how biological determinism, imperialism, race theories, evolving concepts of female sexuality, degeneration and evolutionary theory all shaped the representation of destructive women in classic novels. From Haggard's She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed to Stoker's vampiric creations and Conrad's Malayan and African women, the book demonstrates how the femme fatale figure became entangled in the ideological preoccupations of the era. This work contributes significantly to women's studies and literary history, offering critical insight into how gender, power and empire intersected in Victorian and Edwardian fiction.
