This invaluable survey examines the development of women's writing in Britain from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day.It looks in detail at individual writers, both the famous and the unjustly neglected, analysing the themes and concerns that run through their works, and pointing out the links, in terms of influence and inspiration, between women from different generations. At the same time it sets out to provide an insight into the social and political framework of each era,showing how external factors have affected the way women have written-or have been allowed to write. Women writers are thus appreciated both in terms of their individual achievments and as part of a complex and often anguished literary tradition. The book also includes useful appendices on diaries and letters, children's fiction, and the defective and romantic geners, as well as a comprehensive bibliography and index. Succinctly and entertainingly written, WOMEN WRITERS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE will provide the student and general reader alike with a highly readable introduction to the subject. إقرأ المزيد
