Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Review '[This book] demonstrates with a considerable authority of its own that feminist criticism has an original and scholarly contribution to make to the understanding of literature and the methods of criticism. The editors have included three articles on the theory of feminist criticism and thirteen additional essays that address the following authors: Chaucer, Shakespeare, DeFoe, Richardson, Fielding, Melville, C. Bronte, Chopin, Woolf, Hemingway, Lessing, and Porter. Contrary to the frequent stereotype that feminist criticism deals only with women characters and writers, this distinguished volume illustrates forcefully that feminist criticism is a critical perspective that works with the whole fabric of literature: its context, its text, its author, its aesthetic, its critics, its readers. . . . Diamond and Edwards have done an excellent job of producing a stimulating volume that not only serves as an introduction to feminist criticism but also makes a contribution to the field itself.'Criticism'Especially noteworthy is the analysis of women on the American frontier, a theme which should be the subject of much future research. This collection should be of value to the general reader interested in 'the feminine mystique,' and should also supply excellent collateral reading for courses in women's studies as well as for traditional courses in English and American literature.'Library Journal Product Description Having collected material for this volume both practically and intuitively, Arlyn Diamond and Lee R. Edwards offer a wide selection of essays addressing the problem of defining feminist criticism and/or dealing with some declaredly feminist way with significant English or American texts. Though diverse by design, rising out of particular critics' concerns with particular authors or problems, the sixteen essays share certain fundamental assumptions about the wider social and moral contexts of literature. About the Author Arlyn Diamond is exploring the relationship between theory and practice as a feminist, medievalist, and union activist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.Lee R. Edwards is a professor of English and women's studies and director of the Women's Studies Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is author of Psyche as Hero: Female Heroism and Fictional Form.
