Romanticism,
Maternity, and the Body Politic (Cambridge and New
York: Cambridge University Press, 2003).
This book examines Romantic writers' treatments
of motherhood and maternal bodies through the lens of the legal,
medical, educational, and socioeconomic debates about motherhood
so prevalent during the Romantic period. These discussions
rendered the physical processes associated with mothering matters
of national importance. Kipp's primary concern is to trace
ways that writers deployed representations of mother-child
bonds variously as a means to naturalize, endorse, and critique
Enlightenment constructions of interpersonal and intercultural
relations. |
