Book description
Women in Dark Times begins with three remarkable women: revolutionary socialist Rosa Luxemburg; German-Jewish painter Charlotte Salomon; and film icon Marilyn Monroe. The story of these women, bound together by their struggles against iniquity, blazes a trail across some of the defining features of the twentieth century - revolution, totalitarianism and the American dream - and compels us to reckon with the unspeakable. Bringing to the surface the subterranean depths of history and the human mind that dominant political vocabularies cannot bear to face, pioneering critic and public intellectual Jacqueline Rose forges a new language for feminism. Extending her argument into the present, Rose turns her focus to 'honour' killings and celebrates contemporary artists whose work grows out of an unflinching engagement with all that is darkest in the modern world. Women in Dark Times, reissued a decade after its original publication, offers a template for a scandalous feminism, one which confronts all that is most recalcitrant and unsettling in the struggle to create a better world.'A surfeit of elegance and intelligence.'- Ali Smith'It's really hard for me to overestimate how important [Rose's] work has been for me.... I don't feel like that about very many writers.'- Maggie Nelson'Jacqueline Rose has no peer among critics of her generation. The brilliance of her literary insight, the lucidity of her prose, and the subtlety of her analyses are simply breathtaking.'- Edward Said'One of the most original and intellectually sophisticated minds at work today.'- Eimear McBride'As a literary scholar and psychoanalytic thinker, Rose has long insisted that we pay close attention to the subterranean fears, fantasies, and narratives that structure our most pressing sociopolitical problems.'- Merve Emre, The Nation'To read Rose is to understand that there is no border between us and the world; it is an invitation to a radical kind of responsibility.'- Parul Sehgal, New York Times'A rigorously argued and at times breathtaking book. Many paragraphs contain a controlled explosion; her analysis of men's fear of and fascination with female sexuality, born from the boy's early proximity to the mother's body, is one of them. The book closes with a clarion cry: "Women have been reasonable for far too long." Her reasoning, ironically, is as tight and sinuous as a constrictor knot. It is a time to be afraid of the dark.'- Frances Wilson, Daily Telegraph'Jacqueline Rose is one of our most stimulating public intellectuals. This is the book we have been waiting for, a clarion call for us all, men and women, to be bolder and brasher in our advocacy for change but also more willing to embrace our contradictions.'- Helena Kennedy QC'Formidable.... It is impossible not to listen carefully to what Professor Rose has to say in her thought-provoking, rigorously argued writing on feminism, literature and psychoanalysis.... It is a breathtaking book and a challenging read - ambitious, scholarly and innovative.'- Herald'Jacqueline Rose's book Women in Dark Times is pretty amazing.'- Irvine Welsh'Rose confronts dark times with dark and moving stories from the last century inspiring a new feminism for this one. By so doing she keeps alive the dreams of so many women from Rosa Luxemburg and Marilyn Monroe to young girls killed in the name of some perverted sense of "honour". Most likely a classic.'- Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty'Women in Dark Times follows a long-established trajectory within her work, questioning assumptions and reframing debates from an explicitly feminist perspective. Rose's text is intersectional in the best sense of the word, combining many approaches - including, but not limited to, concerns over gender, race, Jewish identity and politics. Linking all of these together is psychoanalysis, whose revelations allow for the demystifying and revisionist readings at the core of the book. Demonstrates the value of scholarly reappraisals of cultural figureheads.'- Jewish Quarterly'This is not an easy book but a lucid, deeply absorbing and strangely soothing one.'- New Statesman'The book provides a valuable record of the ideologies and achievements of women whom society would rather have kept silent.'- Independent'Rose's thesis is a measured and decisive stroke in contemporary feminist theory.'- Financial Times'Jacqueline Rose is a pioneering feminist and a fine storyteller.... We need to listen carefully to Rose's call in this inspiring and reflective book for a new "scandalous" feminism.'- Rachel Holmes, Literary Review
