Abstract:

The study explores the economic difficulties encountered by Arab American and African American mothers, as well as the adverse conditions they endure due to their economic and social circumstances, which are manifested in four selected novels. This study seeks to clarify the reasons behind these difficulties and their impacts on family relations, particularly between mothers and daughters. The introduction of new economic regulations, unfamiliar to the mothers, constitutes a significant shock, profoundly affecting their understanding of their daughters' attitudes and choices. This shift in per

Abstract:

The present article analyzes Morrison's novels with emphasis on the conflicted emotions of fictional African-American mothers in relation to their children. Of special interest is Morrison's depiction of the mother's role in shaping the individuation process of her daughters in a matriarchal, father-absent context. Also examined is Morrison's treatment of intergenerational continuity and the unique role of the grandmother against a background of social change. Such change is interpreted by Morrison as involving conflict between the norms of traditional, rural, folkloric black culture, and the

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sefi Atta and Lola Shoneyin are undoubtedly three of the most celebrated feminist novelists in the contemporary Nigerian literature. These three women-writers have one thing in common – each has written at least a novel in which she employs the usual problematic relations between a mother figure and a daughter as a means of exploring feminism – inflected issues such as identity-construction, subjecthood, and patriarchy, etc. I am making reference to Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun, Atta’s Everything Good Will Come and Shoneyin’s The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives.

The paper intends to reread Jamaica Kincaid’s short story, ‘Girl’ (1978) and provide new insights into its understanding. It aims to analyse the poetic qualities, word choice, and structure of the text that are left not fully discussed by recent scholarship. The structure as well as the poetic language of ‘Girl’ make it an unconventional piece of writing falling between two literary categories and so hard to classify. ‘Girl’ apparently violates rules and transgresses conventions by being both poetic and going beyond the traditional fictional structure of a short story.

Abstract This article focuses on Italian Holocaust testimonies written by three female survivor-writers—Edith Bruck, Liana Millu, and Giuliana Tedeschi. It considers how these authors use diverse literary forms to represent the experiences of mothers and daughters in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Key passages in Tedeschi's survivor memoir C’è un punto della terra show the extent to which her experience was shaped by her separation from her children, and by feelings of maternal longing.

Amy Tan is one of the most significant contemporary Chinese American authors, whose personal life, full of family traumas, has been openly discussed by the author herself in various forums. Her first significant novel, The Joy Luck Club (1989), was her first fictional attempt in self-definition via exploring and investigating mother–daughter conflicts, ethnic heritage, and the successes and failures in accepting otherness. Tan’s novels, especially The Kitchen God’s Wife (1991) and later The Bonesetter’s Daughter (2001), are concrete examples of the author’s continuing desire to explore deeply

Abstract:

This article explores how George Eliot shows fathers in domestic life in her fiction by focusing on the core components of Victorian fatherhood named by Claudia Nelson, that is, “authority, guidance and financial support.” In the 19th century Britain, fathers were having privileges of ownership and authority while mothers were confined to nurturing and comforting in domestic life. Most of the researchers on fathers in Eliot’s novels have tried to analyze the father-daughter conflicted relationship from a psychological, or Freudian, perspective. Alternatively, this study by drawing upon the the

AbstractThis study of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Madonna-figures questions some influential arguments about the novelist's treatment of motherhood and domesticity. Critics such as Jane Tompkins, Elizabeth Ammons, and Gillian Brown have claimed that the novels privilege an alternative maternal culture and may even present the Christian Savior in feminized terms. But the early novels in fact reveal the gender restrictions of nineteenth-century Protestantism, which allowed no sanctified female roles. Uncle Tom's Cabin and Dred, for example, have Christ-figures but no Madonnas. Stowe's travels overse

The aim of the study is to substantiate the ambiguity of the central female character in Charles Dickens’ novel “Dombey and Son” (1846-1848), Florence Dombey, who significantly deviates from the typical image of a Victorian woman as an “angel in the house”. Florence, along with other Dickens characters such as Agnes Copperfield (“David Copperfield”, 1850), Esther Summerson (“Bleak House”, 1853) and Amy Dorrit (“Little Dorrit”, 1855-1857), is usually seen as the embodiment of the Victorian ideal of a woman who subordinates her life to the service of the family, a dominant role in which belongs
