In this original and highly accomplished study, first published in
1994, Marie Maclean studies the writings of social rebels and
explores the relationship between their personal narratives and
illegitimacy. The case studies which Maclean examines fall into
four groups: those which stress alternative family structures and
'female genealogies' those which pair female illegitimacy and
revolution those which question the deliberate refusal of the name
of the father by the legitimate those which study the revenge of
genius on the society which excludes it Skilfully interweaving
feminist theory, French literary criticism, social and cultural
history, deconstruction and psychoanalytic theory, Maclean traces
the place of these personal narratives of illegitimacy in history
and their use in theory, from Elizabeth I to Freud, Sartre and
Derrida. The Name of the Mother will be of vital interest and
importance to any student of critical theory, feminist philosophy,
French or cultural studies.
