Bøker av Ellen Brinks

Emphasizing the interdisciplinary range of this recurring motif, Ellen Brinks traces "distressed masculinity" in canonical instances of gothic imagination - Byron's Oriental Tales and Coleridge's Christabel - but also in works such as Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind, Keats's Hyperion fragments, and Freud's letters and scientific writings.

Brinks examines the work of Toru Dutt, Krupabai Satthianadhan, Pandita Ramabai, Cornelia Sorabji and Saroini Naidu. These women are deeply rooted and connected to both South Asian and Western cultures who found large audiences in their public roles as writers, reformers, activists and cultural translators. Informed by extensive archival work.
