| Abstract | "The book addresses critical omissions in du Maurier studies by carefully examining her less well-known shorter fiction. The analysis covers nine stories chosen to illustrate how du Maurier employs the diseased, disabled, and maimed human form as a recurrent symbol for social, political, and domestic misalignment"-- Provided by publisher. |
