In An Innovative And Invigorating Exploration Of The Complex Relations Between Women And The Modern, Rita Felski Challenges Conventional Malecentered Theories Of Modernity. She Also Calls Into Question Those Feminist Perspectives That Have Either Demonized The Modern As Inherently Patriarchal, Or Else Assumed A Simple Opposition Between Mens And Womens Experiences Of The Modern World.Combining Cultural History With Cultural Theory, And Focusing On The Fin De Sicle, Felski Examines The Gendered Meanings Of Such Notions As Nostalgia, Consumption, Feminine Writing, The Popular Sublime, Evolution, Revolution, And Perversion. Her Approach Is Comparative And Interdisciplinary, Covering A Wide Variety Of Texts From The English, French, And German Traditions: Sociological Theory, Realist And Naturalist Novels, Decadent Literature, Political Essays And Speeches, Sexological Discourse, And Sentimental Popular Fiction. Male And Female Writers From Simmel, Zola, Sachermasoch, And Rachilde To Marie Corelli, Wilde, And Olive Schreiner Come Under Felskis Scrutiny As She Exposes The Varied And Often Contradictory Connections Between Femininity And Modernity.Seen Through The Lens Of Felskis Discerning Eye, The Last Fin De Sicle Provides Illuminating Parallels With Our Own. And Felskis Keen Analysis Of The Matrix Of Modernism Offers Needed Insight Into The Sense Of Cultural Crisis Brought On By Postmodernism.
