This monograph is a study of the work of British author A. S.
Byatt, exploring the cultural representation of the woman
intellectual in her fiction. It argues that Byatt's representations
of this figure show narratives of intellectual women to be
inherently mythopoeic, or capable of restructuring the myth of the
intellectual as male by default. This mythopoeia is, furthermore,
intrinsically feminist in function, thus potentially broadening the
conventional, limited view of women in intellectual history. The
book will be the first study of Byatt's work to examine this figure
in detail, and the first study of women intellectuals in historical
and literary discourse to apply concepts of mythopoeia and sexual
difference in ways that allow new readings of women's status and
work in public spheres.
