Bridal Gown Shroud: Fiction & Essays, Inscribed

Adele Olivia Gladwell

Published by Creation Press, 1992

About this Item

A complex and challenging literary debut addressing contemporary female issues. Combining short stories, prose-poems and essays, Gladwell uses radical motifs of menstruation and abjection, surrealism, subversion and fragmentation to peel away the exuviae of female expression and experience shedding light on the gulfs between patriarchal and matriarchal, symbolic and imaginary, order and chaos. Alongside poetical essays with undercurrents of textual and post-feminist theory, Gladwell also casts fresh light on films such as The Exorcist, songwriters and performers such as Nick Cave and Michael Gira, and seminal female writers like Helene Cixous. London: Creation Press, 1992. Softcover. 203pp. Inscribed by the author To Jamie, In Solidarity, Adele OG . Corners lightly bumped, small creases to front cover. Internally bright and clean. Overall an excellent copy.
