MOSSMAN, Carol A. Politics and Narratives of Birth: Gynocolonization from Rousseau to Zola
Cambridge, United Kingdom Cambridge University Press 1993 0521415861 / 9780521415866 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good Clean Copy
This book is a feminist analysis which combines a psychoanalytic perspective on catastrophic birth with the politics of reproduction in the emergent democracy of nineteenth-century France. It focuses on three major thinkers whose personal relation to origins is problematic, Rousseau, Constant, and Stendhal and also includes a broad reading of the nineteenth-century novel within the frame of pathological generation, giving special attention to works by Michelet and Zola. Professor Mossman identifies important areas of interaction between production and reproduction at the level of aesthetic form, and between private, birth-related discourse and the ideology of the birth of democracy. Within the context of the collapse of ancien regime France, the nascent ideology of motherhood collides with modes of discourse that invade and colonise the maternal body, generating a considerable burden of anxiety expressed in the nineteenth-century French novel
