In this unique study, Alison Sinclair focuses on the representation and articulation of desire in the novel. She argues that instead of being seduced by the fiction, what is at stake is sexual desire leading to adultery -- the characteristic fiction of the adultery novel. According to the critic, the reader must learn to look below the surface in order to see the ontological insecurities that this fiction veils and attempts to contain. In a reading that draws both on a broad spectrum of modern psychoanalytic theory and on an understanding of social, sexual, and medical norms of the period in which the novel was written, Sinclair proposes that the adultery story be understood as a coded r?sum? of fantasied, dislocated, repudiated, and thwarted desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Sinclair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807892599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807892596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unc Department of Romance Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 5.94w x 0.69d","brand":"Alison Sinclair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838265217279,"sku":"9780807892596","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37704aba-76bb-4f2c-9b15-0677b4411b44.jpg?v=1746589300","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dislocations-of-desire-alison-sinclair-9780807892596","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
