"[Huber] offers significant and original interpretations of the Eros and Psyche myth ... a feminist response to Neumann's powerful classic, Amor and Psyche." Estella Lauter, Chair, Department of English, College of Letters and Science, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.

Reseña del editor:

In Transforming Psyche Huber shows that the myth of Psyche and Eros can be interpreted to illuminate the experiences of twentieth-century women. In contrast to the portrayal of Psyche as indecisive and amorphous, Huber emphasizes those aspects of the tale that describe Psyche's connectedness - to her sisters, her own sexuality, her earth-bound experience and, ultimately, to the birthing of her child. Using the works of such writers as Emily Carr, Margaret Laurence, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf, Huber demonstrates that feminist theory and women's autobiography mirror the insights uncovered in her retelling of the Psyche story.
