Based on Hans Blumenberg's notion of artists' ongoing "work on myth" and Aby Warburg's concept of pathos formulae, this monograph explores the functions and meanings of these ancient figures in image and text. Examining novels by Catharine Maria Sedgwick, Lydia Maria Child, Elizabeth Stoddard, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, and Louisa May Alcott, this study sheds light on the intellectual and aesthetic achievements of these American women writers across a range of genres. Furthermore, the book challenges the assumption that women's "work on myth" did not thrive until the second half of the nineteenth century and proposes an approach to overcome the persisting binary and gendered opposition between myth and logos as the 'feminine' body governed by irrationality and the 'male' rational mind."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mythology, Classical, in literature. 650 0 $a American literature $x Women authors. 650 0 $a American literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a American literature $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807271 650 7 $a Mythology, Classical, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031770 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a American studies (Munich, Germany) ; $v v. 282. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710083354.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC623A94033911E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
