Bøker av Jeffrey Steele

Using the theories of Nietzche, Freud, Jung, and Lacan - as well as the critical insights of Derrida, Iser, Ricoeur, and others - Steele explains how Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Margaret Fuller attempted to influence readers by promoting psychological myths that functioned as ontological paradigms.

The leading feminist intellectual of her day, Margaret Fuller is remembered for her groundbreaking work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century, which recharted the gender roles of men and women. In this collection, the full range of her literary career is represented from her earliest poetry to her final dispatch from revolutionary Italy.

Arguably one of 19th-century America's most ardent feminists, this work focuses on Margaret Fuller's development of a powerful language of cultural critique and myth-making in the years preceding her famous book ""Woman in the Nineteenth Century"".
