Representations of the Mother-in-Law in Literature, Film, Drama, and Television - Hardcover

by Jo Parnell (Editor), Cecilia Alero Titilayo Saibu (Contribution by), David Wafula Yenjela (Contribution by)

This book is a comprehensive study of some ways of treating the subject that demonstrate new and unusual perspectives, and provides a different approach to the popularly-held views of mothers-in-law; and that further address these works as popular culture; and as texts in their own right from within the framework of literary theory; and as works that demonstrate the ability to reach and connect with, and satisfy, both the general reader, the student, and the scholar, from all levels and walks of life.
