Among the contributors, Lynda Boose explores the structural
implications of Western culture's central daughter-father kinship
exchange stories; Leah S. Marcus examines the politics of
daughter-father relations in a historical study of Mary I and
Elizabeth I as daughters of Henry VIII; and Diane F. Sadoff treats
"good girl" novelists George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Anne
Bronte. Hortense J. Spillers focuses on the incest theme in works
by Ralph Ellison and Alice Walker, while David Willbern examines
Sigmund Freud's strange alteration of testimonies by women
describing seduction by their fathers.
Representing a wide range of fields, the authors give special
emphasis to daughter-father relationships in British and Americna
literature. They discuss the lives and works of such authors as
Richardson, Hawthorne, Christina Rossetti, Dickinson, Thackeray,
Yeats, Woolf, and Plath. In an afterword, Carolyn G. Heilbrun
widens the scope of discussion to suggest that questioning
conventional parent-child relationships "may lead to quite other
concepts of the family, moving further and further from the oedipal
or nuclear family and the system that family-construct inevitably
produces."
