Bücher von Elizabeth A. Fay

Offers a new, Spinozist framework for understanding encounters with otherness in Romantic literature as experiences of immanence.

Fay examines the unacknowledged political uses of language in modern culture that engender and effectuate power imbalances among speakers and listeners. Women must be shown how the everyday language of politicians, educators, and newscasters is not natural but is marked--designed for manipulative purposes that put women at risk.
