- Description
- In een dertigtal beschouwingen pleit Roiphe voor een 'rommelig leven'. Ze verzet zich tegen de hedendaagse obsessie met gezond leven, de tirannie van Facebook en Twitter, de nieuwe preutsheid, overbezorgd ouderschap en gaat in haar autobiografisch getinte reflecties vooral in op haar alleenstaand moederschap, als voorbeeld van 'a messy life'. Verder aandacht voor schrijvende vrouwen, de ambiguïteit van Austen, het schrijven van kinderboeken, vrouwenfantasieën, het kind als koning, de hypocrisie van de bourgeoisie en het milieu van welgestelde yuppies in Brooklyn.

- Description
- In this biography of the eighteenth- century writer Mary Wollstonecraft, Lyndall Gordon explores the life of a woman often criticised by biographers, historians and feminists alike. Gordon challenges such slanders, and portrays instead the genius of this extraordinary woman. The two-generation approach to her life examines not only Wollstonecraft herself, but also her effect on her daughters and heirs (Mary Shelley, Fanny Imlay, Claire Clairmont and Margaret Mount Cashell), and the ways in which they carried her influence into subsequent generations. Gordon takes stock of Wollstonecraft's life in accord with her own values rather than through the reputation history has given her. The author looks at her important relationships with Gilbert Imlay and William Godwin, and her ideas about issues such as the problems of communication between the sexes and parenthood.

- Description
- The authors argue that during the early modern period, the transition from manuscript to print brought on by the invention of the printing press temporarily exposed and disturbed the epistemic foundations of English culture. As a result of this cultural upheaval, the discursive field of parenting was profoundly transformed. Through an examination of the literature of the period, this volume illuminates how many important conceptual systems related to gender, sexuality, human reproduction, legitimacy, maternity, kinship, paternity, dynasty, inheritance and patriarchal authority came to be grounded in a range of anxieties and concerns directly linked to an emergent publishing industry and book trade.
