Feminism has transformed the academic study of literature,
fundamentally altering the canon of what is taught and setting new
agendas for literary analysis. In this authoritative history of
feminist literary criticism, leading scholars chart the development
of the practice from the Middle Ages to the present. The first
section of the book explores protofeminist thought from the Middle
Ages onwards, and analyses the work of pioneers such as
Wollstonecraft and Woolf. The second section examines the rise of
second-wave feminism and maps its interventions across the
twentieth century. A final section examines the impact of
postmodernism on feminist thought and practice. This book offers a
comprehensive guide to the history and development of feminist
literary criticism and a lively reassessment of the main issues and
authors in the field. It is essential reading for all students and
scholars of feminist writing and literary criticism.
