The rise of feminism is undeniably one of the major events in the
development of literary criticism this century. Feminist approaches
have pushed forward both the theory of literary criticism and the
understanding of individual works of literature. K. K. Ruthven's
lucid introduction to the subject offers a broad survey, looking at
the impact of Marxism, structuralism, and post-structuralism on
feminist critical practice; the argument that literary language has
been shaped by masculine bias; and feminist claims for distinctive
styles and traditions of women's writing. As a lively contribution
written by a man to a highly controversial topic dominated by
women, K. K. Ruthven's study is original and even provocative, but
above all serves as a valuably clear and sympathetic guide to the
complexities of an important issue in modern literary studies.
