Transforming Memories in Contemporary Women's Rewriting explores
the role of rewriting within feminist literature from the 1970s
onwards in relation to the theme of cultural memory. It discusses a
broad range of European and North American texts and contexts to
tease out the internal contradictions of women's rewriting in the
transmission of culture. Contemporary women's rewriting emerged in
a moment of history particularly obsessed with memory. A literary
genre in which narratives of the past are retold from the
perspective of a female character in the original story, women's
rewriting literally re-calls the old stories differently.
Transforming Memories in Contemporary Women's Rewriting is a
detailed and representative study of how feminist fiction uses
rewriting to engage questions of cultural remembrance and
forgetting in relation to gendered identity, generating incisive
interpretations of works by such authors as Angela Carter, J.M.
Coetzee, Maryse Conde, Ursula Le Guin, Sena Jeter Naslund, Pia
Pera, Michele Roberts, Jeanette Winterson and Christa Wolf.
