{"product_id":"breaking-the-angelic-image","title":"Breaking the Angelic Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eHonig's short, pleasantly written book is a consideration of the images of women--as mothers, spinsters, girls, and supernatural women--in 19th-and early 20th-century fantasy novels for children. . . . Honig sees fantasy as a means of freeing women from the Victorian social restraints--at first, imaginatively. \u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first book-length study of nineteenth-century children's fantasy from a feminist viewpoint. Honig focuses on a number of major works that are representative of the best of their era--including such classics as \u003ci\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e by Lewis Caroll; \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Key\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Princess and the Goblin\u003c\/i\u003e, and others by George MacDonald; the works of Mary Louisa Molesworth; \u003ci\u003ePeter and Wendy\u003c\/i\u003e by James Barrie; \u003ci\u003eThe Five Children and It\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Enchanted Castle\u003c\/i\u003e by Edith Nesbit. Through a close reading of these fantasies Honig demonstrates that although Victorian women were still being repressed in the home and the marketplace, the female figure in literature played a role that was quite different from the traditional stereotype of the meek, submissive wife and mother.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54219297554776,"sku":"9780313261275","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/breaking-the-angelic-image","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
