The Beginnings of Modern Gendered Discourse in Late Eighteenth-Century Germany : Literary, Philosophical, and Popular Portrayals of Female Orality Hardback
by Heather Merle Benbow
Hardback
Description
This book examines the gender dimensions of orality in German culture and thought around 1800.
It uncovers oral resonances in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, demonstrates that pedagogical and didactic literature about women and girls is based on a suppression of female orality, contrasts medicalized models of (open) female and (closed) male bodies and reinterprets two classic literary heroines in terms of their oral conformity and excess.
