Twentieth-Century Women Novelists: Feminist Theory Into Practice

By Susan Watkins

Book Overview

This provocative book discusses two of the most significant influences on writing and thinking in the 20th century: women novelists and feminist theory. It demonstrates, in an accessible but imaginative manner, ways of reading women's novels alongside work by feminist theorists. Each chapter situates a small number of theoretical texts in their intellectual context and then links them with a widely taught novel to produce fresh interpretations. The novels and theorists represent examples of extremely significant, but also pedagogically useful feminist writing this century.
