Abstract
"Rereading the Myth of Eurydice and Orpheus in Nancy Huston’s novel L’empreinte de l’ange. Perpetual and versatile, the myth of Orpheus is presented with new interpretations in each literary exploration of its complex symbolism. This paper aims to examine Canadian writer Nancy Huston's novel L’empreinte de l’ange from a mythocritical standpoint, revolving around a contemporary feminist reading of the myth of Orpheus. As such, our analysis observes the myth's transfigurations by means of a psychoanalytic framework targeted at the female protagonist, as well as in relation to the two Orphic couples present in the novel: Saffie-Raphaël and Saffie-András. This study focuses on the progress of the female protagonist in comparison to the mythical evolution of the nymph Eurydice. Keywords: Nancy Huston, L’empreinte de l’ange, Orpheus and Eurydice, the psychology of trauma "
