Revising commonly held views of his feminism, she explores the relation of Galdós's novels to the \"woman question\" in Spain, arguing that after 1892 the muted feminist discourse of his early work largely disappears. While his later novels have been interpreted as celebrations of the emancipated new woman, Jagoe contends that they actually reinforce the conservative, bourgeois model of frugal, virtuous womanhood--the angel of the house.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing primary sources such as periodicals, medical texts, and conduct literature, Jagoe's examination of the evolution of feminism makes \u003ci\u003eAmbiguous Angels\u003c\/i\u003e valuable to anyone interested in gender, culture, and narrative in nineteenth-century Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Jagoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520083563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520083561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.26w x 0.87d","brand":"Catherine Jagoe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202146484479,"sku":"9780520083561","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e85bcf26-a973-4095-9122-b24bf660bdf7.jpg?v=1756819767","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ambiguous-angels-catherine-jagoe-9780520083561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
