Resource Type

Book

Description

"Drawing upon the work of French feminist critics Luce Irigaray, Helene Cixous, and Julia Kristeva, and the psychoanalytic theories of Jacques Lacan, The Feminine Subject in Children's Literature offers a provocative exploration of the feminine -- an aesthetics of the body expressed through speech and writing -- in literature for children and young adults. Christine Wilkie-Stibbs demonstrates that within children's fiction the feminine functions as a consciously corporeal use of language that attempts to "speak the body" across physical, psychical, material, and textual landscapes. ..." -From the Publisher
