The Feminization of Dr. Faustus: Female Identity Quests from Stendhal to Morgner by Helga Druxes
informative
reflective
5.0
The terms "faustian hero"/"faustian bargain" have always seemed gender neutral to me, so it was interesting to look back at the time when it was only exclusively applied to male characters and how some writers then started applying Faustian tropes to female or even "third sex" characters.
I'd been meaning to get into this one for some years now and finally could get my hands on a digital copy. Very informative and easy read, made me interested in a couple of the classic books it analyzes.
