Explores the nature and development of turn-of-the-century anti-woman sentiment in literature, art, and thought, connecting these ideas to the racism and anti-semitism that led to catastrophic genocidal delusions in the first half of the twentieth century
This book may be summed up as follows: Victorian men had some downright strange ideas about female sexuality. Depicted in art and literature as nymphs, viragos, maenads, vampires - anything except human beings it seems. Rating: 3/5.
