- Description
- The field of American women's writing is one characterized by innovation: scholars are discovering new authors and works, as well as new ways of historicizing this literature, rethinking contexts and categories. This book develops and challenges historical, cultural, theoretical, even polemical methods, all of which will advance the future study of American women writers – from Native Americans to postmodern communities, from individual careers to communities of writers and readers.

- Description
- Kate Chopin is now recognised as a unique voice in American literature. Her seminal novel, The Awakening, published in 1899, explored new and startling territory, and stunned readers with its frank depiction of the limits of marriage and motherhood. The essays in this Companion treat a wide range of Chopin's stories and novels, drawing her relationship with other writers, genres and literary developments, and pay close attention to the transatlantic dimension of her work.

- Description
- 9/11 is not simple a date on the calendar but marks a distinct historical threshold, ushering in the war on terror and a supposed “clash of civilizations. Perhaps no date, since Virginia Woolf declared that “on or about December 1910 human character changed,” has marked such a singular point in the perception of time, identity and nature. Women’s writing has always been something of a counter-canon, offering modes of voice and point of view beyond that of the “man” of reason. This collection of essays explores the two problems of what it means to write as a woman and what it means to write in the twenty-first century.

- Description
- This book provides a critical account of Atwood's writing across the wide range of genres within which she has worked for the past forty years, while paying attention to her Canadian cultural context and the multiple dimensions of her celebrity. The main concern is with Atwood the writer, but there is also Atwood the media star and public performer, cultural critic, environmentalist and human rights spokeswoman, social and political satirist, and mythmaker. This immensely varied profile is addressed in a series of chapters which cover biographical, textual, and contextual issues. The Introduction contains an analysis of dominant trends in Atwood criticism since the 1970s, while the essays by twelve leading international Atwood critics represent the wide range of different perspectives in current Atwood scholarship.

- Description
- Der Sammelband beschäftigt sich mit der Verarbeitung von Geschlechterbildern in der Literatur deutschsprachiger Autorinnen von 1894 bis 1945: Lassen sich neue Ideen zur Geschlechterfrage und politische Umbrüche im Schreiben von Frauen wiederentdecken? Wie werden Geschlechterbilder präsentiert? Die Beiträge beziehen die historischen Verhältnisse und Rahmenbedingungen, unter denen die Autorinnen ihre Texte verfassten, in die Untersuchungen ein und nehmen Geschlechterverhältnisse kritisch in den Blick. Die Analysen erstrecken sich z. B. von Mädchenromanen über Literatur der Neuen Sachlichkeit bis zur Lyrik deutsch-jüdischer Autorinnen und berühren verschiedenste Themen und Genres. Untersucht werden u. a. Werke von Toni Schwabe, Mascha Kaléko, Emmy Ball-Hennings, Irmgard Keun und Else Lasker-Schüler.
