Byatt, Emma Donoghue, Sarah Waters, Helen Humphreys, Margaret Atwood, and Ahdaf Soueif, among others, and their attempts to re-envision the erotic. Kathleen Renk?s study analyzes the phenomenon of neo-Victorian fiction and its relationship to contemporary culture, specifically focusing on women writers and the ways in which the erotic is conceived in neo-Victorian fiction, and how this re-conception relates to the interests of contemporary feminism. Renk argues that in their re-envisioning of the Victorian novel, these women writers highlight classical concepts of erôs, and, in addition, they gravitate toward Audre Lorde?s idea that the erotic is not ?plasticized sensation? but is ?the lifeforce of women, [it is] creative energy empowered. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x19th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aSex 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x19th century. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a823.0099287 676 $a800 700 $aRenk$b Kathleen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0978705 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484595403321 996 $aWomen Writing the Neo-Victorian Novel$92230678 997 $aUNINA
