 | Sexing the Mind: Nineteenth-Century Fictions of Hysteria In a book both brilliant and lucid, Evelyne Ender explores the issue of sexual identity in the fiction, criticism, and psychoanalytic writings of the nineteenth century. She focuses on the figure of the hysteric, which, she says, came to represent a mind haunted by the questioning of gender. Evelyne Ender is Maitre-assistante in English and Comparative Literature at the Universite de Geneve. |
