Description

In this well-researched and crafted study of Daphne du Mauriers novels and short stories, author Teresa Petersen explores the possibility that incest is at the core of du Mauriers craft. Her argument is that the theme of incest occurs so frequently that it is not a coincidence.Weaving an analysis of du Mauriers personal history with her well-known novels and short stories, Petersen contends that the writers intense relationship with her father, Gerald, and to a lesser extent, her much older cousin, Geoffrey, shaped the narrative of all that she wrote.From the subtle father-daughter marriage in Rebecca to the grotesque infanticide in The Progress of Julius to the revelatory short story, A Border-Line Case, Petersen makes a clear argument that will have readers reconsidering du Mauriers works from a completely different angle.
