Beskrivning
This book is a comprehensive study of some ways of treating the subject that demonstrate new and unusual perspectives, and provides a different approach to the popularly-held views of mothers-in-law; and that further address these works as popular culture; and as texts in their own right from within the framework of literary theory; and as works that demonstrate the ability to reach and connect with, and satisfy, both the general reader, the student, and the scholar, from all levels and walks of life.

Recensioner i media

Jo Parnell has curated an enthralling and exceptional collection of essays on media representations of an almost entirely neglected figure in our social, cultural and familial landscape – the mother-in-law. Acknowledging, exploring and, at times, refuting, the pervasive negative stereotype of the trope of the mother-in-law, it is so exciting to see the work of scholars from a range of countries and continents side by side as they investigate this much-maligned figure. From its discussions of representations in Roman Antiquity to those on television tonight, this volume is a must-read – for elucidation and scholarly reference, and for the pure pleasure of reading the insightful writings collected.
