This collection of new feminist essays represents the work of young
critics researching and teaching in British Universities. Aiming to
set the agenda for feminist criticism in the nineties, the essays
debate themes crucial to the development of feminist thought: among
them, the problems of gendered knowledge and the implications of
accounts of gendered language, cultural restraints on the
representation of sexuality, women's agency, cultural and political
change, a feminist aesthetics and new readings of race and class.
This variety is given coherence by a unity of aim - to forge new
feminist discourses by addressing conceptual and cultural questions
central to problems of gender and sexual difference. The topics of
discussion range from matrilinear thought to seventeenth-century
prophecy; the poetry of Amelia Lanyer to Julia Margaret Cameron's
photographs; from Dorothy Richardson and Virginia Woolf to
eighteenth-century colonial painting of the South Pacific; from
medieval romance to feminist epistemology. The essays utilise and
question the disciplines of literary criticism, art history,
photography, psychoanalysis, Marxist history and post-structuralist
theory.
