Reflecting the salient undercurrents of contemporary researh on
women writers, this volume is an appraisal of the work of the
writer as woman and presents critics' perceptions about how women
writers have dealt with the complexity of changing female visions
in the twentieth century. Each of the thirty-four essays,
contributed by some of today's most distinguished writers, speaks
to the work of a particular twentieth-century woman writer, and
each constitutes a contribution to the scholarly debate. Questions
are raised as to the appropriate posture a critic should adopt, and
whether a critic of women's writing should deal with the work as
the product of a woman's hand, dwelling on the sensibilities of the
female consciousness, or assume that the proper point of departure
remains the artistic and aesthetic norms that have emerged from
generations of male-defined practice.
