Produktinformationen zu „Dickens and the Despised Mother (ePub)“
This work offers an original interpretation of the mothers of the protagonists in Dickens's autobiographical novels. Taking Julia Kristeva's psychoanalytic concept of abjection and Mary Douglas's anthropological analysis of pollution as its conceptual framework, the book argues that disgust was Dickens's primary emotional response towards the mother whose efforts to reinstate him very nearly derailed his life. Further, it suggests that we can trace similar signs of disgust in the narrators of his subsequent fictional autobiographies: David Copperfield, Bleak House, and Great Expectations. Displaying an extensive grasp of the critical field, the book provides a close reading of Dickens's autobiographical fragment and opens up the possibility that his feelings towards his mother had a significant influence on his fiction.Further, the book provides a compelling overview of the theories of disgust and closes with a provocative discussion of Dickens's compulsive Sikes and Nancy public readings.
