- Description
- This book covers a period dating back to the eighteenth century. These essays highlight the artistry, complexity and diversity of a literary tradition that ranges from Lucy Terry to Toni Morrison. A wide range of topics are addressed, from the Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement, and from the performing arts to popular fiction. Together, the essays provide a guide to a tradition of women writers in conversation with each other as they critique American society and influence American letters.

- Description
- The interdisciplinary examinations in this anthology explore the major novels of Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), her key essays, and the literary tropes that unify her writings. The essays in the first section look at Woolf's acute analyses of literary imagining: her explorations of the ways fact, vision, and language interact to create both perceived reality and its representation in fiction. In the second part, the contributors focus on Woolf's social vision, considering how groups respond to traumatic events and treating both the hazards and the comforts of community. The third section brings together seven of the most challenging accounts of Woolf's ethical and political imagination, reflecting upon her representations of other minds, in particular the minds of those who differ from her according to early twentieth-century notions of class, race, and empire.

- Description
- Modernity tends to privilege masculine-connoted characteristics and has generated a conceptualization of human subjectivity emphasizing these qualities. Yet the costs of this conception of human selfhood are high, and at modernity's most acute moments of historical crisis, writers and artists can be seen turning to feminine-connoted figurations -- nature, tradition, myth and spirituality, intuition, relationality, flux. Feminist critiqueshave viewed cultural history as male-generated and 'phallocentric,' in need of a feminine corrective. The innovation of this book is to examine these two gendered perspectives side by side, investigating the culturally symbolic significance of gender in post 1945 German language literature via a sequence of paired readings of major, thematically related texts by male and female authors, Ingeborg Bachmann and Max Frisch and Christa Wolf, Elfriede Jelinek and Rainald Goetz: and Heiner and Christa Wolf.

- Description
- From her childhood in Whitby to her long old age in Cambridge, the life of Margaret Storm Jameson (1891-1986), novelist, autobiographer, and political activist, spanned almost the whole of the twentieth century. In her long life as writer and activist, president of wartime PEN (the association of Poets, Essayist, Novelists) committed to the values of freedom and social justice, she fought to reconcile the conflicting forms of emergent modernity. This biography recovers the aspirations and the disappointments of the generation of socialists that was Class 1914. Alongside the narrative of Jameson's life, and the experiences as daughter, wife, and mother, the book explores her concern with issues of culture and society, cultural memory, and cultural landscapes, her fascination with aesthetic form and the relation of writing to politics, her insight into the materiality of words, and her persistent probing of the nature of the writing subject. It draws on unpublished archive material and brings new research on neglected areas of cultural history into conjunction with literary-critical analyses of Jameson's novels and studies of her journalism and essays. With extensive bibliography of her work.

- Description
- Although feminist women have existed throughout history, the term 'New Woman' wasn't officially coined until 1894, when British novelists began to address the concept of the New Woman through discussions of female suffrage, dress reform, women's advances toward more legal rights, birth control, sexual freedom, and women working outside the home. This annotated bibliography includes original novels and articles printed from 1894 to 1944, the era most closely associated with the New Woman. It includes all period novels with a New Woman protagonist and all period articles with the New Woman as primary subject, along with several poems, cartoons, advertisements, and artworks. The bibliography also includes critical literature published worldwide from the 1960s to 2008 that examines the primary material included in the first section. Because the New Woman was the target of many derisive articles, poems, and visual works, these critical response pieces are included.

- Description
- This book focuses on twentieth century women's narratives of travel and adventure, deliberately expanding the Transatlantic concept to include Canada, South America, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe. The book problematizes the crisscrossing of the Atlantic throughout, noting culturally resonant literature that imagines 'views from both sides' and reconfigures the 'in-between' space of the Atlantic. The author explores the way in which the space of the Atlantic-and women's space work together in the construction of meaning in transatlantic texts, engaging with a range of genres, from novellas and novels to essays, memoirs, and travel literature. Nella Larsen's Quicksand is read alongside Bharati Mukherjee's Jasmine and in relation to constructions of the exotic: Eva Hoffman's Lost in Translation is explored in relation to memoirs of travel, such as Jenny Diski's Skating to Antarctica and Stranger on a Train. Anne Tyler's transatlantic The Accidental Tourist is compared to her latest transpacific Digging to America and Isabel Allende's Daughter of Fortune.

- Description
- This essay collection is dedicated to intersections between gender theories and theories of laughter, humour, and comedy. It includes a series of investigations on traditional and modern media in western cultures from the 18th to the 20th century. A theoretical opening part is followed by four thematic sections that explore the multiple forms of irritating stereotypical gender perceptions: aspects of (post-)colonialism and multiculturalism: the comic impact of literary and media genres in different national cultures: as well as the different comic strategies in fictional, philosophical, artistic or real life communication. The volume presents a variety of new approaches to the overlaps between gender and laughter.
