Description and Table of Contents

Description

Feminist writing has emerged in recent years as a major influence in 20th century European literature. Second-wave feminism has not only inspired new generations of women writers but has also stimulated an interest in women's writing from the past. "Textual Liberation" provides a wide-ranging survey of 20th century feminist writing in Europe, presenting texts from a number of countries and highlighting some of the transnational parallels and contrasts. The contributors emphasize the wider context - political, social, economic - in which the texts were produced. They cover feminist literature in Britain, Scandinavia, Germany, Eastern Europe, Russia, France, Spain, Italy and Turkey, and consider a range of genres, including the novel, poetry, drama, essays, and journalism. Each chapter contains an extensive bibliography with special emphasis on material available in English.
