Between genders : narrating difference in early French modernism
"Between Genders: Narrating Difference in Early French Modernism studies representations of gender in five early and mid-nineteenth-century French texts. The narratives examined are diverse in both literary form and theme: two novels, Honore de Balzac's La Fille aux yeux d'or, Theophile Gautier's Mademoiselle de Maupin; Charles Baudelaire's novella, La Fanfarlo; Claire de Duras's pseudo-confession narrative, Ourika; and an autobiography of an intersexual, currently known by the title Herculine Barbin
