Kate O’Brien, Novels, Sexuality, EroticismAbstract
This article aims to investigate questions concerned with sexuality and eroticism in Kate O’Brien’s novels – Mary Lavelle (1936), That Lady (1948) and As Music and Splendour (1958) – recognizing that her feminine characters are individuals who disarticulate prejudices and stereotypes, opening up new possibilities for new subjects with personal autonomy, so that they can fulfill their own desires and needs.
