Bøger af Janet Mason Ellerby

Discusses an array of narratives that span the American literary tradition, tracing the evolution of the "fallen woman" from the earliest novels to recent representations in fiction and film, including The Scarlet Letter, The Sound and the Fury, The Color Purple, and Love Medicine, and the films Juno and Mother and Child.

Set during the sexual revolution of the sixties, this work recalls the decade's prodigious effect on a generation of Americans that came of age during that transformative time of changing mores.
