Feminist Literary Theory : A Reader

E-Book Overview

Feminist Literary Theory: A Reader is a guide, companion and handbook for students and teachers of women’s literature. It is an anthology that offers many bite-sized tasters of work on gendered authorship, literary production, critical reception, sexuality and genre; from romantic fiction to travel writing. Mary Eagleton’s introductions contextualize the debates represented by each extract, suggest connections between them and point to further reading. This third edition maintains and develops the breadth of the previous editions with several new pieces on such areas as autobiography, science fiction and border talk. The new section, ‘Writing “Glocal”’, investigates dynamically evolving dialogues between feminism and post-colonialism, diaspora narratives and trans-culturalism. It is written to expand your knowledge and understanding of feminist thought, both as an historical discipline and as a relevant and progressive set of ideas.
