![]() ![]() The author has marshaled an impressive body of evidence to show that madness was generally regarded as a female malady throughout the 19th Century. ![]() Though her hourglass approach owes a great deal to Chesler’s 1972 book, “Women and Madness,” Showalter not only turns her attention beyond America to England, but also extends the fictional metaphors used by Gilbert and Guber in their close examination of Victorian images in “The Madwoman in the Attic.” Limiting herself to the years between 18, Showalter investigates biography, letters, and the fine and lively arts as well as actual case histories, creating a concise history of psychiatry from a feminist standpoint. The Female Malady by Elaine Showalter (Pantheon Books: $19.95)Īfter gracefully acknowledging her debt to professional colleagues who have previously written on this provocative theme, Showalter both broadens and narrows the field. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() After ten years, the remaining Greeks-with Helen, willingly restored to a husband whose first impulse is to kill her, plus the captive royal Trojan women-set sail for home, leaving Troy in flames and though Sutcliff has focused on their honor and courage, she ensures that it's the ironic futility of their venture that lingers in the mind. Described in vivid, exquisitely cadenced prose, both sides behave with nobility, though Sutcliff's Trojan War also involves atrocity (Hector's body dragged by Achilles' chariot), posturing, loss, and despair. Beginning with Discord's apple, inscribed "To the fairest" (it set off the competition among goddesses that led to Paris's abduction of Helen), she centers on Achilles and Hector while also recounting such significant events as Paris and Menelaus' single combat (inconclusive because Aphrodite meddles, as gods frequently do here), the funeral games honoring Patroclus, the Amazons' death in battle, and Odysseus' devious exploits. Among the late author's finest books are renditions of the Arthurian legend to this re-creation of the classic epic, she brought the same compelling vision and sensitivity to language, history, and heroics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After being scattered, they have come back together in Caldwell, New York, to finish their battle with the Lessers.Īs you read through each book in this series, you will find yourself getting hooked, whether you are into paranormal romance and vampires or not.

Here is a film for every 16-year-old still finding their real identity between their brash friend-squad front and the most diminishing taunts of their self-image, and for every older person who remembers that, and hasn’t the heart to tell them it may be an ongoing search. “How to Have Sex” is equally likely to endure comparisons to Charlotte Wells’ “Aftersun,” last year’s great British debut about regimented package-tour fun bringing out the latent melancholy of troubled holidaymakers - again, a reference point that captures some sense of the film’s brightly dilapidated milieu but not its very specific, vividly evoked anxieties. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Are Lisa's nightmares coming true?

Chen Qiufan, Xia Jia, Ma Boyong, Hao Jingfang, Tang Fei, Cheng Jingbo, Liu Cixin: you’ll recognize. The words create a certain vision of science for the reader. The Lyricism and Pathos of Chinese SF: Invisible Planets, Edited and Translated by Ken Liu. Science fiction is the byproduct of the process of gradual disenchantment with science. While micro fantasies burst and are born afresh like sea spray, the macro fantasy remains sturdy. The history of science is written and rewritten by the allocation and flow of capital, favors given to some projects but not others, and the needs of war. However, we now know that behind the practice of science lie ideological struggles, fights over power and authority, and the profit motive. I am by no means suggesting that we should take the path of antiscience-the utopia offered by science is complicated by the fact that science disguises itself as a value-neutral, objective endeavor. “Science” is itself one of the greatest utopian illusions ever created by humankind. ![]() |
