From Violence to Vision: Sacrifice in the Works of Marguerite Yourcenar
FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
Through close readings, Howard analyzes the different ways sacrifice functions in Yourcenar's plays, short stories, and novels and discusses the cultural meanings Yourcenar attaches to the sacrificial episodes depicted. Howard's resolutely textual approach enables her to avoid the trap of confusing the works with the biography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
