Bøker av James Kincaid

A romp though a series of Victorian texts, both poetry and novels, Annoying the Victorians is one of the first books to address directly the ideology of current critical discourse, teasing the reader and the practices of the critic.

Explores contemporary America's preoccupation with stories about the sexual abuse of children. Claiming that our culture has yet to come to terms with the bungled legacy of Victorian sexuality, this title examines how children and images of youth are idealised, fetishised, and eroticised in everyday culture.
