内容説明

Elizabeth Fay's original and lively book introduces the student to the issues most important for feminist analyses of Romantic literature. It begins with an account of key positions for mainstream and feminist scholarship in Romantic studies. Then, focusing on the issue of the canon, as raised for example by a revisory anthology such as Duncan Wu's volume in the "Blackwell Anthology" series, it shows how feminist analyses can be brought to bear, radically to alter the way we read traditional canonical works. A wide variety of feminist strategies are applied to key texts, providing students with historical contexts and critical paradigms for application and development in their own work. Fay's book shows just why we should use feminist theory and makes clear how startling the consequences of this are for Romantic literature as a whole.
