The essays in this book examine the various uses of the ideology of
motherhood in British and American literature from the 16th to the
21st centuries. The book looks not only at the institution of
motherhood itself, but also at the social and cultural dictates
that patriarchal society places upon that institution. Presenting
mothers whose roles are often empowering yet confining, these
essays scrutinize motherhood from three distinct literary
perspectives: social and cultural impact; significance of maternal
absence; and, finally, motherhood as a manifestation of power.
Literary works examined include William Shakespeare's ""Venus"";
Daniel Defoe's ""Roxana""; Charles Dickens' ""Dombey and Son"";
Harriet Jacobs' ""Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl""; John
Steinbeck's ""The Grapes of Wrath""; Dorothy Leigh's ""The Mother's
Blessing""; and W.S. Penn's ""Killing Time with Strangers"", among
others.
