Jane Gallop's book offers a clear-eyed and comprehensive history of
feminist literary criticism. Why, she asks, have we so quickly
buried 1970s feminist criticism? What lies buried there? Why do
1990s academic feminists accuse other academic feminists of being
'academic'? Gallop takes the novel approach of structuring her
inquiry around anthologies of feminist criticism: twelve important
texts that have had a wide impact on more than a decade of
scholarship. In reading an anthology as a whole, she typically
identifies a central, hegemonic voice (usually that of the
editor/s) which would organise all the voices into a unity, and
then explores the resistance within that volume to such a unity.
Weight is placed behind these internal differences as a wedge
against the centrist drive. Around 1981 addresses briefly 'french
feminism' and psychoanalytic feminism before focusing on its
principal subject: the mainstream of feminist literary criticism,
before and after its general acceptance as part of the changing
institution of literary studies. This brilliantly illuminates the
dilemma of the feminist critic, divided by her allegiance to both
feminism and literary studies.
