Synopsis
"This book will be extremely valuable to researchers working on the complex relationship that creative women entertain with their cultural heritage. Such critics as Ellen Moers had claimed a tradition of their own for literary women, but no scholarly work so far has dealt in such depth with the ambivalent way in which they relate to a typically American conception of inheritance. No doubt this ground-breaking collection of essays will open up new paths for stimulating further studies." Marie-Claude Perrin-Chenour, Professor of American Literature, University of Paris Ouest - Nanterre "I salute this remarkable collection of essays because of the by-and-large novelty of its subject - women's inheritance - and the variety of approaches (in methods as well as in writers and specific cases) offered by their authors. In the US, as well as in Europe, through the centuries, women have had to go through a number of legal controversies (and eventually the setting up of artful subterfuges) to have their legitimate rights finally recognized. This collection is for many of us an eye-opener." Cristina Giorcelli, Professor Emerita, University of Rome Three, This collection of essays provides new insights into the theme of inheritance in American women's writing, ranging from Emily Dickinson's appropriation of Shakespeare's legacy to Meredith Sue Willis's exploration of the tension between material inheritance and spiritual heritage in the Appalachian context. Using diverse critical and theoretical models, the twelve contributors examine women's problematic relationship to inheritance in a variety of historical, geographical, and personal contexts, bringing to the fore a number of strategies of resistance and empowerment that have helped women cope with the burden or the lack of any inheritance through the centuries. Grouped into four sections, these essays successively investigate women's attempts to grapple with the curse of personal or national inheritance, the troubled relationship with the father figure, the classic trope of the haunted, Gothic house, and the plight of more contemporary women writers who have been relegated to the dead zone of American literary inheritance. Of crucial importance for all of these writers is the tension between the home and the land, as well as a questioning of intertextuality as the starting-point for a reconfiguration of the self in its relationship with the past.

    Received a Valeo Clutch Kit that arrived Damaged. Box was sealed and no way for seller to know it was damaged. I believe this was due to poor package/padding design from manufacturer (no padding between flywheel, clutch disk or pressure plate). Seller accepted the return and issued refund. Thank you again.
