"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
