In this work of feminist literary criticism the authors explore the works of many major 19th-century women writers. They chart a tangible desire expressed for freedom from the restraints of a confining patriarchal society and trace a distinctive female literary tradition.
In this second part of "No Man's Land", Gilbert and Gubar focus on texts from the early part of the 20th century to expand on the claim made in the first volume that, for literary men and women, sexual battles were associated with "sexchanges" - or radically conceived gender roles.
This text argues that 20th-century women of letters have found themselves on a confusing cultural front and that most, aware of the artifice of gender, have dispatched "missives" recording some form of the "future shock" related with profound changes in the roles and rules governing sexuality.
A collection of essays that explore poetics, personal identity, feminism, and modern and contemporary literature.
