Deceived Husband - Sinclair, Alison (University Lecturer in Spanish and Fellow, University Lecturer in Spanish and Fellow, Clare College, Cambridge)

The Deceived Husband is an ambitious and original study of the representation in European literature of adultery, focusing in particular on the figure of the husband. It makes use of Kleinian psychoanalysis to explore notions of masculinity, gender, and power in a range of texts from The Canterbury Tales and The Decameron to Othello, Madame Bovary, and Anna Karenina.
