Literary Feminisms provides a map for charting the difficult waters
that feminist theories have created in literary studies. Ruth
Robbins shows the reasons for the development of feminist literary
critiques, explains the difficulties and exposes some of feminism's
blindspots. A wide range of theorists is discussed, ranging from
Wollstonecraft to Kristeva, showing the ways in which materialist,
psychoanalytic and literary accounts of feminist thinking
creatively intersect. Through a series of exemplary readings, of
texts such as The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Yellow Wallpaper,
she also points out how the student reader can begin to make her or
his own feminist criticism, and can learn to engage with both the
politics and poetics of the literature.
