| Summary: | Abstract. This thesis analyzes the novel When the Rainbow Goddess Wept, written by California-based Cebuano writer Cecilia Manguerra-Brainard, using Jane Marcus' essay Women, War, and Madness-Is There a Feminist Fetishism? which is part of the broad framework of New Historicism. This study offers a historical reading of the novel taking into consideration its historical context and a women's inherited history in a tme of political travesty which, in the case of the novel, is war.
The major characteristics of New Historicism is that is sees literary texts as a credible source of history, it colorizes texts offering a wider scope of analysis, and it merges different fields of study such as Feminism and Marxism. |
