"Ashley Tauchert's new book questions the widespread use of Transgression as a term
of critical analysis and approval. Tauchert takes the concept back to its origins
in the compelling thought experiments of Georges Bataille and traces its transformation
into critical dogma in the work of Michel Foucault. Offering neither a manifesto nor
a template, Against Transgression tracks the author's rejection of Transgression as
a legitimate critical methodology following her mother's death and her own maternal
transfiguration. In her quest for the possibility of critical thought beyond the now-hegemonic
transgressive turn, Tauchert finds herself blowing the dust off a surprisingly radical
mode of English literary criticism in C.S. Lewis's speculative narrative work. Bataille
and Lewis make for very odd critical bedfellows indeed, as Tauchert correlates the
theoretical pornography of the iconic text of Transgression (Madame Edwarda) with
the extraordinary popular conservatism of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in
her search for a credible response to 'Transgression'."--Jacket
