Informationen zum Autor Sarah Webster Goodwin is associate professor of English at Skidmore College and is the author of Kitsch and Culture: The Dance of Death in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Graphic Arts . Elizabeth Bronfen is professor of English at the University of Zurich and the author of Over Her Dead Body: Death, Femininity, and Aesthetics . Klappentext Death is a subject of increasing interest in virtually all academic disciplines, yet there is surprisingly little theoretical work on the representation of death in literary contexts. Death and Representation offers a unique collection of international and interdisciplinary essays, rich in cultural perspectives but sharing a relatively common vocabulary. It provides models for a number of interrelated approaches -- including psychoanalytic, feminist, and historical -- with essays by prominent and promising scholars. Contributors are Ernst van Alphen, Mieke Bal, Regina Barreca, Elisabeth Bronfen, Carol Christ, Sander Gilman, Sarah Webster Goodwin, Margaret Higonnet, Regina Janes, Ellie Ragland-Sullivan, Rajeswari Sunder Rajan, Ronald Schleifer, Charles Segal, and Garrett Stewart.
