Written in the popular mode of the transatlantic novel, the work engages in debate on the appropriate construction of femininity in art and public life. The heroine, Elfrida Bell, descends from artist, to muse, to model, to painted image - a descent framed by a rival male artist and a hostile London art scene. Represented as Psyche, the heroine undergoes a quest and failure similar to the mythical one. Adaptation of the Psyche myth clarifies the position of Duncan in the spectrum of gender ideologies of the fin-de-siecleKanadska romanopiska Sara Jeannette Duncan (1861-1922) je v svojem findesieclovskem romanu Hči današnjega časa (1894) ustvarila novo podobo junakinje. Delo, napisano v priljubljeni obliki t.i. prekooceanskega romana, razpravlja o primerni konstrukciji ženskosti v umetnosti in javnem življenju. Junakinja Elfrida Bell izgubi položaj umetnice in postane najprej muza, potem model in nazadnje slikana podoba, kar je plod zarote umetnika-tekmeca ter sovražne umetniške scene v Londonu. Upodobljena kot Psiha se junakinja poda na pot iskanja in, podobno kot njena mitološka "sestra", doživi polom. Priredba mita o Psihi osvetli vlogo pisateljice Duncan v spektru spolnih ideologij fin de sieclaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba
