The Papin Sisters (Oxford Studies in Modern European Culture) Book

This is a study of the 1933 killing by the Papin sisters of their mistress and her daughter. An unexampled act of violence by women against women. The book discusses the idea that the obsessive recurrence of the case makes it a prism through which to examine multiple aspects of French culture.Read More

  • Product Description

    France's "murder of the century" remains also the most violent non-war crime by women against women on record. The Papin sisters' killing and mutilation of their mistresses in 1933 has provoked reproduction and speculation ever since, by such prominent cultural figures as Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques Lacan, and Claude Chabrol. This book offers an overview of these reproductions and draws some provocative conclusions from them.
