"I mean, what is a woman? I assure you, I do not know. I do not
believe that you know. I do not believe that anybody can know until
she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to
human skill."--Virginia Woolf, Professions for WomenWriting The
Woman Artist is a collection of essays that explores the ways in
which women writers portray women painters, sculptors, writers, and
performers. Surveying the works of a variety of women writers--from
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from different ethnic,
national, racial, and economic backgrounds--this book treats their
revisions of the Kunstlerroman and their perceptions of the
relationships between muse, artist, and audience in other genres.
Suzanne W. ]ones and her collaborators seek to understand how
representations of women artists and their poetics and politics are
mediated by social and historical factors, including literary
movements and theories of language. In doing so, they make an
important contribution to the field of feminist scholarship, and
generate new ways of understanding how the dynamics of creativity
intersect with the dynamics of gender.Contributors to the volume
are Ann Ardis, Alison Booth, Kathleen Brogan, Lynda Bundtzen,
Pamela Caughie, Mary DeShazer, Linda Dittmar, Josephine Donovan,
Susan Stanford Friedman, Gayle Greene, Linda Hunt, Katherine
Kearns, Holly Laird, Estella Lauter, Z. Nelly Martinez, Jane
Atteridge Rose, Margaret Diane Stetz, Renate Voris, and Mara
Witzling.Writing The Woman Artist is a valuable new resource for
scholars and students working in the fields of European and
American literature and women's studies.
