Product Description
Is there a distinctive women's tradition in literature? Do women write differently from men? What does it mean to define a piece of writing as "feminist"? Do women encounter particular problems in becoming writers? These are among the many questions addressed, debated and illuminated in this new edition of Mary Eagleton's classic Reader in feminist literary theory. Radically revised and expanded from its original format, this second edition retains all the features that have made it indispensable to students and teachers of feminist literary theory across the world for a decade. The range of the collection remains unmatched by any similar volume, providing a superb point of entry into one of the broadest and most vibrant areas of contemporary theory. New material has been introduced throughout the Reader, reflecting, in particular: the growing diversity of Black feminism, the continuing influence of "French feminism" and the fundamental impact of postmodernism on feminism. New emphases have been introduced in every section, and a chapter covering postmodernist theories of subjectivity has been added. Fully indexed to make cross-referencing simple, this new edition is the perfect introduction to feminist literary theory today.

Review of feminist Literary Theory: A Reader August 16, 2007
0 out of 6 found this review helpful
For the online class I am now taking, this book was one of three books that were required for the class. We are using only one of the books for the assignments, but the other two (this one included) are to be used for reference for the paper I will be turning in. Therefore, I have not read much of this book yet, but it pertains to the material presented in the course.
