Opis publikacji
This book explores the narratives of girlhood in contemporary YA vampire fiction, bringing into the spotlight the genre’s radical, ambivalent, and contradictory visions of young femininity. Agnieszka Stasiewicz-Bieńkowska considers less-explored popular vampire series for girls, particularly those by P.C. and Kristin Cast and Richelle Mead, tracing the ways in which they engage in larger cultural conversations on girlhood in the Western world. Mapping the interactions between girl and vampire corporealities, delving into the unconventional tales of vampire romance and girl sexual expressions, examining the narratives of women and violence, and venturing into the uncanny vampire classroom to unmask its critique of present-day schooling, the volume offers a new perspective on the vampire genre and an engaging insight into the complexities of growing up a girl.
“Richly detailed and thoroughly researched, Girls in Contemporary Vampire Fiction is a timely and dynamic critical intervention in the expanding field of Young Adult fiction. If, following Nina Auerbach, each age requires its own vampires, then each age also requires its own vampire criticism. This book fulfils the requirement through its exploration of the figure of the contemporary Western girl and the complexities of youth.” (Catherine Wynne, University of Hull, UK)
