Description: Romanticism, Gender, and Violence : Blake to George Sodini, Hardcover by Marshall, Nowell, ISBN 1611484669, ISBN-13 9781611484663, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Performative melancholia causes the subject to over-exercise gender norms, causing those norms to appear to be flattened, unattainable, or lost. As a result, the subject reverts to inward-directed violence, such as suicide or other forms of self-destruction, or outward-directed, as in sadism. Marshall (literary theory, Rider U.) examines the effects of performative melancholia in Romantic authors from Blake to George Sodidi, citing examples from their recordings of loves lost and regretted, failures, abandonment, and madness. Marshall begins by refining performative melancholia, giving as its parameters coupling, failure, and melancholia; he tests his theory on Vision of the Daughters of Albion and Camilla, then covers feminine (Zofloya and Mill on the Floss) and masculine (The Giroux) melancholia. Then Marshal concentrates on extreme forms of abandonment and madness from Shelley and Wordsworth, and Amelia Opie's The Father and Daughter. Marshall closes with a fascinating foray into post-romanticism with Mrs. Dalloway and Dancer from the Dance by Holleran. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
