Opis

Feminist criticism is a critical orthodoxy with its own established canonical texts. Now is the time, then, to begin to question that orthodoxy. In this book, five women critics seek to do that, in a spirit of enquiry whose central point of focus is the literature for which feminist critics have offered a re-reading.
