Imagining Gender in Biographical Fiction de Julia Novak

Imagining Gender in Biographical Fiction: Palgrave Studies in Life Writing

Editat de Julia Novak, Caitríona Ní Dhúill
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 dec 2023
This volume addresses the current boom in biographical fictions across the globe, examining the ways in which gendered lives of the past become re-imagined as gendered narratives in fiction. Building on this research, this book is the first to address questions of gender in a sustained and systematic manner that is also sensitive to cultural and historical differences in both raw material and fictional reworking. It develops a critical lens through which to approach biofictions as ‘fictions of gender’, drawing on theories of biofiction and historical fiction, life-writing studies, feminist criticism, queer feminist readings, postcolonial studies, feminist art history, and trans studies. Attentive to various approaches to fictionalisation that reclaim, appropriate or re-invent their ‘raw material’, the volume assesses the critical, revisionist and deconstructive potential of biographical fictions while acknowledging the effects of cliché, gender norms and established narratives in manyof the texts under investigation.

Recenzii

“The volume as a whole is of great value to scholars and students of biofiction as a genre. The majority of essays also work in isolation for those interested in the authors and historical subjects represented. … this volume paves the way for a more inclusive and flexible understanding of biofiction. As it stands, it represents a welcome addition to life-writing scholarship.” (Bethany Layne, European Journal of Life Writing, Vol. 12, 2023)
“Imagining Gender in Biographical Fiction (2024) makes a fine contribution to the Palgrave Studies in Life Writing series. … This book will prove useful to students, especially postgrads, and academics working in English studies, historical fiction, literary studies, life writing (in particular, biography), and women’s studies. … Imagining Gender in Biographical Fiction was a fine text … .” (Gay Lynch, Life Writing, February 19, 2024)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This absorbing book makes a rich intervention into historical fi ction, life-writing, and feminist and queer cultural history.” —Ann Heilmann, author of Neo-Victorian Biographilia and James Miranda Barry: A Study in Transgender and Transgenre (2018)

“A fascinating exploration of the intimate interaction of gendered history and biographical fi ction [...] intelligently and incisively interrogates the deliberate use of fi ction to recentre marginalized female historical fi gures.” —Farah Mendlesohn, author of Creating Memory: Historical Fiction and the English Civil Wars (2022)
