Feminine Singularity offers a powerful feminist theory of the subject--and shows us paths to thinking subjectivity, race, and gender anew in literature and in our wider social world. Through fresh, sophisticated readings of Lewis Carroll, Christina Rossetti, Charles Baudelaire, and Wilkie Collins in conversation with psychoanalysis, Black feminist and queer-of-color theory, and Continental philosophy, Ronjaunee Chatterjee uncovers a lexicon of feminine singularity that manifests across poetry and prose through likeness and minimal difference, rather than individuality and identity. Reading for singularity shows us the ways femininity is fundamentally entangled with racial difference in the nineteenth century and well into the contemporary, as well as how rigid categories can be unsettled and upended. Grappling with the ongoing violence embedded in the Western liberal imaginary, "Feminine Singularity" invites readers to commune with the subversive potentials in nineteenth-century literature for thinking subjectivity today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Lewis Carroll's Alice books and the ones and twos of femininity -- Charles Baudelaire and feminine singularity -- Precarious lives : Christina Rossetti and the form of likeness -- Seriality, singularity, sociality : the case for Wilkie Collins' The woman in white. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Femininity in literature. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Subjectivity in literature. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Femininity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922666 650 7 $a French literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934688 650 7 $a Subjectivity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136579 650 7 $a Women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Chatterjee, Ronjaunee. $t Feminine singularity. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2022 $z 9781503632318 $w (DLC) 2021051789 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17D83C10253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
