In 1846, Edgar Allen Poe wrote that 'the death of a beautiful woman
is, unquestionably, the most poetic topic in the world'. The
conjuction of death, art and femininity forms a rich and disturbing
strata of Western culture, explored here in fascinating detail by
Elisabeth Bronfen. Her examples range from Carmen to Little Nell,
from Wuthering Heights to Vertigo, from Snow White to Frankenstein.
The text is richly illustrated throughout with thirty-seven
paintings and photographs. -- .
