Cemetery of the Murdered Daughters: Feminism, History, and Ingeborg Bachmann

More about the book

Focusing on the broader implications of Ingeborg Bachmann's work, this innovative study by Sara Lennox challenges the narrow view of her as merely portraying women as victims. By examining Bachmann's poetry and prose within their historical context, Lennox reveals how feminist interpretations have evolved over time. Utilizing interdisciplinary approaches, including Foucauldian and postcolonial theories, she highlights how her own essays reflect the changing political and theoretical landscapes, ultimately offering fresh insights into both Bachmann's significance and feminist criticism.
