Book Synopsis Child Brides and Intruders by : Carol Wershoven
Book excerpt: Examines two distinct types of American literary heroines that are seen to develop from the romantic innocence of child brides. Either the child turns vacuous and becomes an insatiable monster; or else a strong personality takes over, which can only be thought of as an external intruder. Considers works from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Gail Godwin. No index. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
