With the literary canon consisting mostly of works created by and
about men, the central perspective is decidedly male. This unique
reference offers alternate approaches to reading traditional
literature, as well as suggestions for expanding the canon to
include more gender sensitive works. Covering 96 of the most
frequently taught works of fiction, essays offer teachers,
librarians, and students fresh insights into the female perspective
in literature. The list of titles, created in consultation with
educators, includes classic works by male authors like Dickens,
Faulkner, and Twain, balanced with works by female authors such as
Kate Chopin's The Awakening and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Also
included are contemporary works by writers such as Alice Walker and
Margaret Atwood that are being incorporated into the curriculum, as
well as those advancing a more global view, such as Sandra
Cisneros' House on Mango Street and Chinua Achebe's Things Fall
Apart. The essays are expertly written in an accessible language
that will help students gain greater awareness of gender-related
themes. Suggestions for classroom discussions--with selected works
for further study--are incorporated into the entries. The volume is
organized alphabetically by title and includes both author and
subject indexes. An appendix of gender-related themes further
enhances this volume's usefulness for curriculum applications and
student research projects.
