Approaching the question of how male novelists perceive their female characters, this
collection of creative yet analytic literary essays unwinds the complexities of male
authorship versus narration. Mark Axelrod looks at a wide range of male authors including
Fydor Dostoevsky, D.H. Lawrence, Carlos Fuentes, and the theories of Jacques Lacan
; Just how do male novelists perceive their female characters? Are there subtle or
not so subtle indications in the narrative that reflect the perceptions of the author
rather than the narrator? And are some of these perceptions pre-conceived based on
certain cultural biases? These are a few of the questions that Notions of the Feminine:
Literary Essays from Dostoevsky to Lacan addresses. With that in mind, the essays
examines those notions in such texts as: Dostoevsky's, Crime & Punishment; Tolstoy's,
Anna Karenina; Lawrence's Women in Love and The Virgin and the Gypsy; Fuentes', The
Old Gringo; Boll's, The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum; and with an additional essay
based on Lacan's notion of The Gaze that is germane to the other texts.--Page 4 cover
