Book Synopsis The Wasting Heroine in German Fiction by Women 1770-1914 by : Anna Richards
Book excerpt: In this broad-ranging study of German fiction by women between 1770-1914, the author aims to add a new dimension to existing debates on the association of women and illness in literature. She constructs a history of women's self-starvation, eating behaviour and wasting diseases.
