The contributers to this volume draw on feminist ideas and discuss
the importance of feminist scholarship in developing an approach to
literature that focuses on gender. It covers all three major
literary genres - prose fiction, poetry and drama (including
performance) - and examines a wide range of themes, including: the
conflict between "feminity" and creativity in women's lives and
writing; the construction of female characters; autobiography and
fiction; the gendering of language; spheres of influence among
women writers; the importance of "a room of one's own"; and the
intersection of race, class and gender within writing, reading and
interpretation. Works discussed include a range of poetry by women
and men; and works of fiction by Louise May Alcott, Charlotte
Perkins Gilman, Jamaica Kincaid, Virginia Woolf, Susan Glaspell,
Caryl Churchil, Alice Walker and Henrik Ibsen. A selection of key
critical texts is included (extracts from the work of, among
others, Maya Angelou, Sandra Gilbert, Susan Gubar, Toni Morrison
and Elaine Showlater).
