{"product_id":"sexual-tyranny-in-wessex-gayla-steel-9780820420929","title":"Sexual Tyranny in Wessex: Hardy's Witches and Demons of Folklore","description":"Folklore's ancient witch and demon figures fascinate us as they continue to materialize in literature with a vitality belying their age. Seeing these folkloric images as crucial metaphors in Hardy's works - as manifest expressions of human sexual aggression and as archetypal projections from his characters' unconscious - this study explores the tyranny they exercise over their victims. The book also vigorously pursues the astonishing truths Hardy unearths through these shape-shifting energies and through his use of related folk beliefs such as omens, weather lore, and healing rituals that draw the reader irresistibly into his charmed Wessex world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gayla Steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820420921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820420929\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 12\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Gayla Steel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082575061247,"sku":"9780820420929","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexual-tyranny-in-wessex-gayla-steel-9780820420929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
