Feminism has dramatically influenced the way literary texts are
read, taught and evaluated. Feminist literary theory has
deliberately transgressed traditional boundaries between
literature, philosophy and the social sciences in order to
understand how gender has been constructed and represented through
language. This lively and thought-provoking Companion presents a
range of approaches to the field. Some of the essays demonstrate
feminist critical principles at work in analysing texts, while
others take a step back to trace the development of a particular
feminist literary method. The essays draw on a range of primary
material from the medieval period to postmodernism and from several
countries, disciplines and genres. Each essay suggests further
reading to explore this field further. This is the most accessible
guide available both for students of literature new to this
developing field, and for students of gender studies and readers
interested in the interactions of feminism, literary criticism and
literature.
