| Description | The theme of women and death is pervasive in the German culture of the past five centuries. This volume investigates how iconic representations of women and death came about and why they have been considered separately from women as victims, as though there was no shared thematic ground. Here, familiar depictions of female victims are examined alongside the more unsettling spectacle of women as killers, exposing cultural assumptions. Essays explore, among others, the themes of virgin sacrifice and female infanticides, 'Death and the Maiden' in art, female vampires in literature, and women killers in the media. |
