The thematic focus is on the fetishized image of Salome in late 19th and early 20th-century British and Continental literature. Part one offers a theoretical look at the polarization and domination of the feminine image within masculine rhetoric. Subsequent chapters include close readings of J.K. Huysmans' \u003ci\u003eA Rebours\u003c\/i\u003e, Oscar Wilde's\u003ci\u003eSalome\u003c\/i\u003e, selected works of William Butler Yeats, and selected visual images. As these readings are linked to current theory, \u003ci\u003eFetishism and Fatal Women\u003c\/i\u003e reviews the dubious genealogy which restricts femininity in general and speculates on how to demystify gender restraints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esther Labovitz,Linda Saladin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820417831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820417837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Esther Labovitz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241116676351,"sku":"9780820417837","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8cc4060e-c28b-44bc-953c-c9ea657c895c.jpg?v=1772652813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fetishism-and-fatal-women-esther-labovitz-9780820417837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
