Place-ing the Prison Officer: The ‘Warder’ in the British Literary and Cultural Imagination

By (author) Cornelia Wächter

| on special |

normal price: R 5,159.95

Price: R 4,901.95


| book description |

The sadistic prison ‘warder’ is an all-too-familiar figure in the literary and cultural imagination of Britain and beyond. This book seeks to redress this misrepresentation of the prison officer by drawing attention to counter-discursive examples: deploying and developing spatial and cognitive narratological frameworks, it examines prison literature that lends a voice to prison officers and/or grants them a complex fictional representation.
