Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca (1938) presents a different kind of shrew. The titular character is dead before the novel begins. Yet her shadow dominates every page. Rebecca de Winter was beautiful, clever, sexually liberated, and cruel. She manipulated her husband, Maxim de Winter, and mocked the very institution of marriage.
