Informationen zum Autor Mary Gossy has a PhD from Harvard University and is Associate Professor of Women's and Gender Studies and Spanish and Comparative Literatures, Rutgers University and the author of Freudian Slips: Woman, Writing, the Foreign Tongue (University of Michigan Press, 1995) and The Untold Story: Women and Theory in Golden Age Texts (University of Michigan Press, 1990). Klappentext Literature gives access to the verge, to the place where the full terror of falling is felt even as both feet remain on the ground. "Empire on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" offers instruction to readers who want to know and feel their way beyond disciplinary conventions toward new understandings of how and why both empires and texts shiver and fall. In these highly original and engaging essays in contemporary Hispanic Studies, readers will encounter a treasure trove of writers--from Freud and Joyce to Gertrude Stein and Monty Python--who have written about empire, panic, and pain, with allusions to Spain and all things Spanish. Zusammenfassung Empire on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown offers pleasurable instruction to readers who want to know and feel their ways through and beyond disciplinary conventions towards new and clearer understandings of how empires and texts shiver and fall! and why.
