( The spectacular development of early consumer society i...)
The spectacular development of early consumer society in Britain, France and the United States had a profound impact on constructions of femininity and masculinity, and commercial and cultural values in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Focusing on novels by Theodore Dreiser, George Gissing and Emile Zola, Just Looking, first published in 1985, addresses itself to a central paradox of the period: the perceived antithesis of the terms "commerce" and "culture" which emerged at a time which saw the actual drawing together of commercial and cultural practices. Drawing on structural, psychoanalytic and Marxist-feminist theory, Rachel Bowlby retrieves a relatively neglected literary area for contemporary political and theoretical concerns, re-establishing the naturalist novel as a rich source for feminists, literary theorists and cultural historians.

"Still Crazy After All These Years" aims to be an accessible, pointed and playful work on the making and unmaking of femininity. It brings together psychoanalysis, critical theory and cultural studies, to consider the interplay of feminist movements of all kinds towards a better means of constructing femininity and of identifying women's place in modern culture. Rachel Bowlby throws new light on the work of the twentieth century's major women writers (such as Virginia Woolf and Jean Rhys) in the context of major thinkers such as Derrida and Freud. How do the texts written by and about women set the terms for the ways in which we think about what a woman is, or where she might be heading, either individually or collectively? Through such questions Bowlby sensitively explores how writing about women sets the terms for their possible movements, and how feminist theory can still reflect women's movements and desires.

What is a consumer? Shopping with Freud looks at some of the surprising ways in which the consumer subject appears in a range of writings - from literature to marketing psychology to psychoanalysis. Rachel Bowlby shows how ideas about consumption are brought to bear on contemporary conceptions of choice in areas that seem far removed from a straightforward matter of shopping. She also shows that arguments and assumptions about the psychology of consumers themselves throw light on genderal questions of human psychology.

Rachel Bowlby's acclaimed book on Virginia Woolf now appears with five new essays which look at Woolf in a number of new frames--as a woman essayist; as a city writer and critic of modern culture; and as a writer on love. Rachel Bowlby shows, with inimitable critical panache, how it is that Woolf's writing, in its many forms and fashions, continues to provide rich matter for thinking about the histories and futures of women, writing and culture.
