- W4297135280 abstract "Fictional imaginings about artificial women date back to antiquity with tales like Ovid’s <italic>Pygmalion</italic>. Here, Pygmalion carves his ideal partner out of ivory, before calling on the divine power of the goddess Venus to turn his sculpture into a living being. Later, following industrialisation, tales about men making artificial women as superior versions of their fleshly counterparts emerged as a trope with stories such as E.T.A Hoffman’s <italic>Der Sandmann</italic> (1816) and Auguste Villiers de l’Isle-Adams’ <italic>L’Eve Future</italic> (1886). This chapter situates <italic>The Stepford Wives</italic> in the context of fictions from the 1800s forward, including <italic>L’Eve Future</italic>. It establishes the importance of critical debates about the nature of life, initiated by experiments in galvanic resurrection, to the idea of life-like automations." @default.
