Resurrecting the Feminine in "The Name of the Rose."
Frentz, Thomas S.
Pre/Text: An International Journal of Rhetoric, v9 n3-4 p123-45 Fall-Win 1988
Examines how the repressed feminine principle affects the four major discourses in Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose." Discusses the historical relationship between the masculine and the feminine in language and religion. Uses that historical frame to guide a close textual analysis of dialectical interplay between the masculine and the feminine in the novel. (RS)
