This book attempts to deal with the problem of literary
subjectivity in theory and practice. The works of six contemporary
women writers - Doris Lessing, Anita Desai, Mahasweta Devi, Buchi
Emecheta, Margaret Atwood and Toni Morrison - are discussed as
potential ways of testing and expanding the theoretical debate. A
brief history of subjectivity and subject formation is reviewed in
the light of the works of thinkers such as Hobbes, Hume, Kant,
Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Raymond Williams and Stephen Greenblatt,
and the work of leading feminists is also seen contributing to the
debate substantially.
