But the story has remained alive for adults, allowing it to lead a rich subterranean existence in novels ranging from \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eLolita\u003c\/i\u003e and in films as diverse as Hitchcock's \u003ci\u003eNotorious\u003c\/i\u003e and Jane Campion's \u003ci\u003eThe Piano\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this fascinating work, Maria Tatar analyzes the many forms the tale of Bluebeard's Wife has taken over time, particularly in Anglo-European popular culture. It documents the fortunes of Bluebeard, his wife, and their marriage in folklore, fiction, film, and opera, showing how others took the Bluebeard theme and revived it with their own signature twists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In some tales the wife is a deceiver; in others she is a clever investigator. Earlier ages denounced Bluebeard's wife for her \"reckless curiosity\" and for her \"uncontrolled appetite\"; our own times have turned her into something of a heroine, a woman who rescues herself--and often her marriage--through her detective work and psychological finesse. And as for Bluebeard? Once considered a one-dimensional brute, he has found renewed cultural energy both as a master criminal who kills in order to create a higher moral order and as an artist figure who must shield himself against intimacy to foster his creative powers. A brilliant account of how one classic fairy tale has been continually reincarnated, \u003ci\u003eSecrets beyond the Door\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to both literary scholars and general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52649747054959,"sku":"9780691127835","price":275.01,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0691127832.jpg?v=1770664563"},{"product_id":"fables-of-modernity","title":"Fables of Modernity","description":"\u003cp\u003eFables of Modernity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longleaf Services on behalf of Cornell University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52651400135023,"sku":"9780801488443","price":285.84,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0801488443.jpg?v=1770673079"},{"product_id":"political-unconscious","title":"Political Unconscious","description":"\u003cp\u003eFredric Jameson, in \u003cem\u003eThe Political Unconscious\u003c\/em\u003e, opposes the view that literary creation can take place in isolation from its political context. He asserts the priority of the political interpretation of literary texts, claiming it to be at the center of all reading and understanding, not just a supplement or auxiliary to other methods current today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJameson supports his thesis by looking closely at the nature of interpretation. Our understanding, he says, is colored by the concepts and categories that we inherit from our culture's interpretive tradition and that we use to comprehend what we read. How then can the literature of other ages be understood by readers from a present that is culturally so different from the past? Marxism lies at the foundation of Jameson's answer, because it conceives of history as a single collective narrative that links past and present; Marxist literary criticism reveals the unity of that uninterrupted narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJameson applies his interpretive theory to nineteenth- and twentieth-century texts, including the works of Balzac, Gissing, and Conrad. Throughout, he considers other interpretive approaches to the works he discusses, assessing the importance and limitations of methods as different as Lacanian psychoanalysis, semiotics, dialectical analysis, and allegorical readings. The book as a whole raises directly issues that have been only implicit in Jameson's earlier work, namely the relationship between dialectics and structuralism, and the tension between the German and the French aesthetic traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Political Unconscious\u003c\/em\u003e is a masterly introduction to both the method and the practice of Marxist criticism.
