This study examines red hair as a signifier, perpetuated through stereotypes, myths, legends, and literary and visual representations. Brenda Ayres and Sarah E. Maier provide a history of attitudes held by hegemonic populations toward red-haired individuals, groups, and genders from antiquity to the present. Ayres and Maier explore such diverse topics as Judeo-Christian narratives of red hair, redheads in Pre-Raphaelite paintings, red hair and gender identity, famous literary redheads such as Anne of Green Gables and Pippi Longstocking, contemporary and Neo-Victorian representations of redheads from the Black Widow to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and more. This book illuminates the symbolic significance and related ideologies of red hair constructed in mythic, religious, literary, and visual cultural discourse. Brenda Ayres, now semiretired, teaches online English courses for Liberty University and Southern New Hampshire University, USA. Sarah E. Maier is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of New Brunswick Saint John, Canada. Ayres and Maier have coedited several collections of essays. The most recent are The Theological Dickens (2021), Neo-Victorian Madness: Rediagnosing Nineteenth-Century Mental Illness in Literature and Other Media (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020), Neo-Gothic Narratives: Illusory Allusions from the Past (2020), Animals and Their Children in Victorian Culture (2019) and Reinventing Marie Corelli for the Twenty-first Century (2019). 001441356 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 29, 2021). 001441356 650_0 $$aLiterature$$xHistory and criticism. 001441356 650_0 $$aRedheads in literature. 001441356 650_0 $$aRedheads in art. 001441356 650_0 $$aRedheads in popular culture. 001441356 650_0 $$aRedheads in motion pictures. 001441356 650_6 $$aLittérature$$xHistoire et critique. 001441356 650_6 $$aRoux (Personnes) dans la littérature. 001441356 650_6 $$aRoux (Personnes) dans l'art. 001441356 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001441356 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001441356 7001_ $$aMaier, Sarah E.$$q(Sarah Elizabeth),$$d1968-$$eauthor. 001441356 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAyres, Brenda, 1953-$$tVindication of the redhead.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9783030835149$$w(OCoLC)1272895012 001441356 852__ $$bebk 001441356 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-83515-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001441356 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1441356$$pGLOBAL_SET 001441356 980__ $$aBIB 001441356 980__ $$aEBOOK 001441356 982__ $$aEbook 001441356 983__ $$aOnline 001441356 994__ $$a92$$bISE
