Books by Maureen E. Ruprecht Fadem

This is an inspired contribution to the scholarship on one of the most influential American novels and novelists. The author positions Beloved as a meditation on historical justice and re-comprehends it as both a formal tragedy¿a generic translation of fiction and tragedy or a "novel-tragedy" (Kliger)¿and as a novel of objects.

This book comprehensively looks at the oeuvre of a major Irish woman poet, Medbh McGuckian. It positions her oeuvre as political, historical poetry crafted through the poetics of silence: a defamiliarized English, a reliance on the image, and the deployment of multiple forms of intertextuality.
