{"product_id":"female-initiation-in-the-american-gabriele-wittke-9783631436752","title":"Female Initiation in the American Novel","description":"Initiation has always been a major theme in American fiction. This study traces the hitherto neglected literary tradition of the adolescent heroine from the late eighteenth century to the present, focusing on important women writers such as Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, Katherine Anne Porter, Carson McCullers, or Sylvia Plath. Their works are compared and contrasted in a close analysis with particular emphasis on common patterns, recurrent motifs, and thematic parallels which illustrate the specific nature of female initiation in American literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriele Wittke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631436750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631436752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Gabriele Wittke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486961578239,"sku":"9783631436752","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00c2e34d-35cd-459c-af16-fec9395aea2f.jpg?v=1778057420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/female-initiation-in-the-american-gabriele-wittke-9783631436752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
