Is it only once pregnancy becomes plannable that it becomes a story worth telling? Abortion is often considered resistant and feminist, while pregnancy is considered domestic and conventional. How can readings of literary narratives challenge this reductive binary? Resistant Reproductions, the first book-length study of both pregnancy and abortion in British culture, will addresses these questions by examining pregnancy narratives, including abortion narratives, in British fiction and film from 1907 to 1967. Fiction became a way for writers to explore what new possibilities of reproductive control would mean for the individual. Yet there was also much anxiety about who would have control: individuals, or the state? While exploring intimate personal experiences of pregnancy and abortion, Resistant Reproductions also asks how literary narratives used reproductive plots to address political issues of gender, class, and eugenics"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Pregnancy in literature. 650 0 $a Abortion in literature. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Pregnancy in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Abortion in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bigman, Fran, 1980- $t Resistant reproductions $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2024 $z 9781032709543 $w (DLC) 2023044715 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717031126.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=738AF9DA440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
