Drawing on the provocative recent work of feminist theorist Luce
Irigaray, "Irigaray, Incarnation and Contemporary Women's Fiction"
illuminates the vital and subversive role of literature in
rewriting notions of the sacred. Abigail Rine demonstrates through
careful readings how a range of contemporary women writers - from
Margaret Atwood to Michele Roberts and Alice Walker - think beyond
traditional religious discourse and masculine models of
subjectivity towards a new model of the sacred: one that seeks to
reconcile the schism between the human and the divine, between the
body and the word. Along the way, the book argues that literature
is the ideal space for rethinking religion, precisely because it is
a realm that cultivates imagination, mystery and incarnation.
