This lively and controversial collection of essays sets out to
theorize and practice a 'materialist-feminist' criticism of
literature and culture. Such a criticism is based on the view that
the material conditions in which men and women live are central to
an understanding of culture and society. It emphasises the relation
of gender to other categories of analysis, such as class and race,
and considers the connection between ideology and cultural
practice, and the ways in which all relations of power change with
changing social and economic conditions. By presenting a wide range
of work by major feminist scholars, this anthology in effect
defines as well as illustrates the materialist-feminist tendency in
current literary criticism. The essays in the first part of the
book examine race, ideology, and the literary canon and explore the
ways in which other critical discourse, such as those of
deconstruction and French feminism, might be useful to a feminist
and materialist criticism. The second part of the book contains
examples of such criticism in practice, with studies of individual
works, writers and ideas. An introduction by the editors situates
the collected essays in relation both to one another and to a
shared materialist/feminist project. Feminist Criticism and Social
Change demonstrates the important contribution of
materialist-feminist criticism to our understanding of literature
and society, and fulfils a crucial need among those concerned with
gender and its relation to criticism.
