La novela realista y naturalista decimonónica quedó fascinada por la histeria y la representó a través de múltiples y complejas heroínas encorsetadas en un papel de mujer trastornada. Este libro indaga en los orígenes del estrecho vínculo mantenido a través de los tiempos entre locura y mujer, para comprender mejor la realidad de un siglo XIX que construyó la imagen femenina desde su categorización de histérica. Los ejemplos aquí tratados nos recuerdan la incomprensión a la que tuvo que sobrevivir el alma femenina en el Ochocientos y las consecuencias que ello tuvo sobre la imagen de la mujer en la iconografía y la literatura.

"À une époque où il est malséant pour les femmes de prendre la parole publiquement pour discuter de matières controversées ou pour formuler la critique de décisions ou de personnages politiques ou religieux, on peut se demander comment, dans les imprimés français de la première modernité, on fait parler une figure féminine ou un groupe anonyme de femmes, surtout lorsque celles-ci sont de basse extraction sociale. Qu’il s’agisse de locutrices agissant comme protagonistes au sein d’un récit ou d’un « je » féminin qui semble se confondre avec une instance auctoriale, ces « voix » féminines présentent une grande diversité d’ethe. Quels types de personæ les ventriloques qu’il s’agisse de rédacteurs féminins ou masculins élaborent-ils dans leurs écrits ? Le travestissement textuel, c’est-à-dire les phénomènes de ventriloquie entendue ici métaphoriquement, soulève plusieurs interrogations relatives à l’auctorialité féminine."--

Like few other works of contemporary literature, Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels found an audience of passionate and engaged readers around the world. Inspired by Ferrante's intense depiction of female friendship and women's intellectual lives, four critics embarked upon a project that was both work and play: to create a series of epistolary readings of the Neapolitan Quartet that also develops new ways of reading and thinking together.In a series of intertwined, original, and daring readings of Ferrante's work and her fictional world, Sarah Chihaya, Merve Emre, Katherine Hill, and Jill Richards strike a tone at once critical and personal, achieving a way of talking about literature that falls between the seminar and the book club. Their letters make visible the slow, fractured, and creative accretion of ideas that underwrites all literary criticism and also illuminate the authors' lives outside the academy. The Ferrante Letters offers an improvisational, collaborative, and cumulative model for reading and writing with others, proposing a new method the authors call collective criticism. A book for fans of Ferrante and for literary scholars seeking fresh modes of intellectual exchange, The Ferrante Letters offers incisive criticism, insouciant riffs, and the pleasure of giving oneself over to an extended conversation about fiction with friends.

This volume offers new insights into ancient figurations of temporality by focusing on the relationship between gender and time across a range of genres. Each chapter in this collection places gender at the center of its exploration of time, and the volume includes time in treatises, genealogical lists, calendars, prophetic literature, ritual practice and historical and poetic narratives from the Greco-Roman world. Many of the chapters begin with female characters, but all of them emphasize how and why time is an integral component of ancient categories of female and male. Relying on theorists who offer ways to explore the connections between time and gender encoded in narrative tropes, plots, pronouns, images or metaphors, the contributors tease out how time and gender were intertwined in the symbolic register of Greek and Roman thought. Narratives of Time and Gender in Antiquity provides a rich and provocative theoretical analysis of time—and its relationship to gender—in ancient texts. It will be of interest to anyone working on time in the ancient world, or students of gender in antiquity.
