Myth and Fairytale in Contemporary Women's Fiction explores contemporary women's rewritings of myth and fairy tale.

Byatt, Michele Roberts and Angela Carter.

Transformations of Domesticity in Modern Women's Writing: Homelessness at Home
ISBN: 9780333773475 / Angielski / Twarda / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Transformations of Domesticity in Modern Women's Writing makes new connections between feminist criticism of domestic ideology in the 19th century, modernist women's experiments with literary form, contemporary feminist debates about the politics of location, and postmodern theories of social space. The book identifies a coherent transition of women's writing that transforms domestic ideologies of "woman's place" by redefining the ideas about space that underlie that ideology. The result is to open the space of gender identity to new relations of class and race.

Feminist Popular Fiction
ISBN: 9780333793176 / Angielski / Twarda / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an examination of feminist writers' appropriation of a range of popular genres: detective fiction, science fiction, romance, and the fairy tale. The author argues that feminists can successfully appropriate all four genres because genres, as cultural productions, have accommodated the cultural changes brought about by second-wave feminism. The book provides a history of each of the genres, reinstating women's contributions in those histories, and a comprehensive review of the feminist critical debates on each of the genres.
