A unique study of how novels by Lawrence, Forster and George Eliot
can be read as rewritings of Sophocles's Antigone : each is
presented as a socially and sexually involving argument between two
sisters. The author provides an interconnected case-study where
each text works on the hidden meanings of the other. Female
sexuality, expressed through the language of duality
(vulnerability, frustration, submission and destructivity,
consummation and rebirth), becomes an ideal vehicle for crossing
the barriers between sexes and between societies, as between the
texts themselves.
