About this product

Product Information

Elizabeth Boa's new study of Kafka centres on gender. Her strikingly original insights show how, in an age of reactionary hysteria, Kafka rejected patriarchy yet exploited women as literary raw material. Drawing on Kafka's letters to his fiancee and to the Czech journalist, Milena Jesenska, Boa illuminates the transformation of details of everyday life into the strange yet uncannily familiar signs which are Kafka's stylistic hallmark. Kafka: Gender, Class and Race in the Letters and Fictions argues that gender cannot be isolated from other dimensions of identity. The study relates Kafka's alienating images of the male body and fascinated disgust of female sexuality to the body-culture of the early twentieth century and to interfusing militaristic, racist, gender, and class ideologies. This is the context too for the stereotypes of the New Woman, the massive Matriarch, the lower-class seductress, and the assimilating Jew. The book explores Kafka's exploitation yet subversion of such stereotypes through the brilliant literary devices which assure his place in the modernist canon.

WOW! FREE shipping & arrived from IRELAND IN 6 Days! That’s a PERFECT 5*****STAR Seller! This rarer book was in good condition-better than even described. Communication w shipping was constant. Book was safely packaged. I’m still amazed-sending this book from Across the pond in 6 Days, w US customs using up extra time, as well. (I can’t even mail a card-from FL to NYC in 6 days & that’s w first class postage & w/o US custom’s to add a delay) MANY THANKS TO AN HONEST, Caring & Exemplary Store!!!
