Death, Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Adolescent Literature

By Kathryn James

Book Overview

Considering the trope of woman/death, the eroticizing of death, and the ways in which the gendered subject is represented in dialogue with the processes of death, dying, and grief, James shows how representations of death in young adult literature are invariably associated with issues of sexuality, gender, and power.
