Description
Summary:The uptake of women's writing as a distinct genre in literature since the 1960s has been rapid and multifarious. This development has fuelled a generation of literary and cultural studies, and can be seen in the growing influence of women's and gender studies even in literary studies programs. The study of women's writing has alerted literature to crucial social, political and cultural problems with which the discipline must continue to grapple. New Women's Writing addresses this legacy and reflects upon the following questions: What is a critical history of women's writing? How has women's writing challenged literature's rigid disciplinary construction? How can we derive a distinct philosophy of women's writing and literary studies? How does an engagement with women's writing contribute to a literary understanding of the complex politics of literature? -- back cover.
