Using a methodological framework based on feminist theory and post-structuralism, she provides a re-vision of canonical texts (such as Jane Eyre , Wuthering Heights , Middlemarch , Effi Briest , Fathers and Children and Anna Karenina ) alongside lesser-known works by Emily and Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, Theodor Storm, Theodor Fontane, Ivan Turgenev and Leo Tolstoy. Her exploration of the semiotics of barriers – as opposed to the established approach of the semiotics of space – makes for a rewarding reading of this period of literature and establishes new cross-cultural and literary connections between the three countries.Textxet: Studies in Comparative Literature80.Feminism in literatureWomen in literatureFeminist theoryFeminism in literature.Women in literature.Feminist theory.809/.933522Ambrose Kathryn1687183NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910822422003321The woman question in nineteenth-century English, German and Russian literature4060467UNINA
