The Power of the “Verfluchte Lohe”: (Post-)Wagnerian Redheads in Das Rheingold, Fredegundis, and Irrelohe
[This chapter identifies and analyzes the redheads that appear in Pre-Raphaelite paintings with their having been influenced by the German and British Romantics. In turn, the redhead types have influenced red-haired femme fatales in numerous novels such as Mary Braddon’s Lady Audley’s Secret (1862), Wilkie Collins’ Armadale (1864–1866), John Fowles’ The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1969), Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca (1938), and The Infernal World of Branwell Brontë (1961) and in turn, Justine Picardie’s biofiction, Daphne (2008). In these, red-haired women are portrayed as being other-worldly but not always angelic. Like Keats’ Lamia, they exert spiritual power over men that leads to their unmanning and often to their deaths as well.]
