商品簡介
Harkness (Queens U., Belfast) uses the writings of 19th century George Sand to examine the subject of masculinity in the novels of the time, using the female writer's propensity to masquerade in public as a male as a central component to the discussion. This book takes a look at the subject of masculine codes of honor, father-son relationships and traditional masculine narrative through the eyes of the pre-eminent woman novelist of the era, especially within the context of French culture. Aimed at humanities students as well as literary scholars, this short yet densely-written study shows how one author employed language to concentrate on power, masculinity and manhood in general.
