The Darcy Myth: Jane Austen, Literary Heartthrobs, and the Monsters They Taught Us to Love

This explores the Gothic influences of Jane Austen's classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, and how they have led to a romantic ideal that is halfway to being a monster story. Feder questions why our culture is obsessed with cruel, indifferent romantic heroes and sometimes heroines, and how much of this is Darcy's fault. She also questions what we can do about this obsession and the potential dangers of love and marriage for women.
