About this listen
Today's featured guest is brilliant academic, Sam Halliday, from Queen Mary University of London.
Sam and I dissect the representation of violence against women and violence perpetrated by women in 18th-century novels. Our discussions will revolve around two texts, both authored by women: Ann Radcliffe's "The Mysteries of Udolpho" and Charlotte Dacre's "Zofloya." We'll explore the themes of violence, sexuality, power, and agency within these Gothic texts.
Sam guides us through the compelling depiction of violent, masculine women in the novel, challenging traditional notions of femininity. We discuss the implications of these characters and their impact on our understanding of gender roles and expectations.
Trigger Warning: this episode does mention and discuss sexual assault.
