French Dressing looks at the ancien régime's scenarios of libertine seduction--unsafe sex and its consequences for women's lives.It places the gender performances of male and female-authored novels in dialogue in order to recover the complexity of a century obsessed, as we are today, with writing and living plots of desire. French Dressing exposes the erotic anxieties behind a national culture of sexual self-display--French undressing.

Electra of EuripidesElectra of Euripides
Publication Date: July 1, 20031913. The Electra of Euripides has the distinction of being, perhaps, the best abused, and, one might add, not the best understood, of ancient tragedies. The Electra has none of the imaginative splendor, the vastness, the intense poetry, of the tragedy of The Trojan Woman. It is a close-knit, powerful, well-constructed play, as realistic as the tragic conventions will allow, intellectual and rebellious. Its psychology reminds one of Browning or even of Ibsen. In this book, the Electra is translated into English rhyming verse. ...

Lyotard, Beckett, Duras, and the Postmodern Sublime (Currents in Comparative Romance Languages and Literatures)Lyotard, Beckett, Duras, and the Postmodern Sublime (Currents in Comparative Romance Languages and Literatures)
Publication Date: March 30, 2007| ISBN-10: 0820478628 | ISBN-13: 978-0820478623This daring work argues that the traumas of the twentieth century form the backdrop of a subjectivity marked by the drive for survival, and that sublime figurations are the aesthetic marker of that drive. Hence, the works of Jean Francois Lyotard, Samuel Beckett, and Marguerite Duras can be understood only with reference to the postmodern conception of the sublime. The sublime becomes a central modality for bearing witness to the terrors of history and to the possibilities of writing in their wake. This book w...
