Klappentext zu „The Representation of Women in the Autobiographical Novels of Raymond Queneau “
Madeleine Velguth analyzes the representation of women in the first six novels of Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) in the context of the social and intellectual climate of early twentieth-century France. Her balanced approach shows how surrealism, psychoanalysis and autobiography inform Queneau's sympathetic and finely-drawn portraits of women. Revealing previously unnoticed structures, Velguth's study presents these works as an organic whole: six variations on the theme of the slow maturing of the man and the artist.

Pressezitat
"Madeleine Velguth's study stages unexpected encounters between literary texts, literary history, and socio-cultural concerns. 'The Representation of Women in the Autobiographical Novels of Raymond Queneau' will interest scholars in French literature and culture and in Women's Studies as well as the general reader for whom the ethical dimension of literature is paramount." (Elaine Marks, University of Wisconsin-Madison)"As this century concludes the centrality of Raymond Queneau's place as poet and novelist is ever more evident. Velguth's book measurably advances our understanding of his linguistic gaiety and the underlying gravity of Queneau's presentation of the two sexes." (Edward T. Gargan, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
"With much in Queneau's oeuvre still being uncharted territory, (Velguth's) undertaking has the merit of being the first to draw attention both to the promise and to the limitations of 'feminist' readings. In that respect, her study makes a contribution of special significance and her example is bound to be followed by others..." (Constantin Toloudis, French Review)
