Editorial Review

Product Description
Even in Hollywood's world of blockbusters and specialeffects, there continues to be an interest in adaptations based on theworks of writers of other eras, especially the classic novels ofnineteenth-century women.Those novels, as accessible, as relevant,and as endearing to modern film audiences as they have been togenerations of readers, emphasize strong female protagonists, finelanguage, and sensitivity to social nuances.And the important issuesexplored in much of that classic fiction--inequities of patriarchalstructures and ambivalence over male domination (Jane Eyre), fear ofscience and technology gone awry (Frankenstein), unconventionalnotions of gender and sexuality (Under Two Flags), evils of slavery(Uncle Tom's Cabin)--speak as strongly to contemporary women as towomen of Shelley's or Brontë's age.

Nineteenth-Century Women at the Movies analyzes in detail theadaptations of novels by eight popular writers--Mary Shelley, JaneAusten, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, Harriet Beecher Stowe, LouisaMay Alcott, Ouida, and George Eliot--and examines the ways in whichthose writers' themes are reinterpreted, updated, and oftenmisconstrued by the filmmakers who bring them to the screen.Thevolume's twelve essays, whose authors include some of the foremostscholars of contemporary literature and film, offer critical insightsnot only into the visions of the novelist and the filmmaker but alsointo contemporary cultural concerns. ...

5. Through the Window, Out the Door: Women's Narratives of Departure, from Austin and Cather to Tyler, Morrison, and Didion

Editorial Review

Product Description
An important moment in many novels and poems by American women writers occurs when a central character looks out a window or walks out the door of a house. These acts of departure serve to convey such values as the rejection of constraining social patterns, the search for individual fulfillment, and the entry into the political. Janis Stout examines such moments and related patterns of venture and travel in the fiction of five major American novelists of the 20th century: Mary Austin, Willa Cather, Anne Tyler, Toni Morrison, and Joan Didion. Moving between texts and between texts and contexts, Stout shows how women writers have envisioned the walls of both physical and social structures (including genres) as permeable boundaries, drawing on both a rhetoric of liberation and a rhetoric of domesticity to construct narrative arguments for women's right to move freely between the two. ...

Product Description

Criticism has traditionally fixed Austen's oeuvre within the ideological locus of the 1790s, ignoring the more topical attributes that her novels display.Such accounts have consequently neglected the complex engagements that took place between Austen's fiction and early nineteenth-century fiction.Informed by a macrocosmic sense of the Romantic-era novel market and a microcosmic analysis of intertexual dynamics, Jane Austen and the Popular Novel provides a fresh and alternative perspective on the mature fiction of Jane Austen.

3-0 out of 5 stars The Case for Expanding the HS English Canon
Liz Whaley and Liz Dodge have written a reader-friendly textbook that argues that teachers need to give their students a realistic mirror of the world as reflected in literature.Acknowledging that women have for years been excluded or minimized in the anthologies available to high school students, Whaley and Dodge discuss how teachers must move beyond the texts. Students should be guided toward reading the work of women writers and other minority writers.Some practical suggestions are offered via annotated bibliographies for each chapter.Useful. However, the chapters themselves sometimes belabor the point. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

 
A problematic relationship forms the core of this anthology--the interwoven lives of southern women.  On the one hand, they are linked by gender; on the other, they are divided by racism, class conflict, and sexual politics.  As suggested by these selections from both white and African-American women from the early eighteenth to the late twentieth century, their struggles capture the essence and the evolution of the southern woman's voice.

 With artistic and historical richness seldom found in literary anthologies, this collection includes letters, journal and diary entries, essays, poetry, and fiction, with an introduction to each historical period and a biography of each author.

 While all the writers share the label "southern woman," some test the boundary of that designation.  Fanny Kemble, a British actress, moved to the Georgia plantation that her husband inherited; Leigh Allison Wilson, the youngest writer, was born and raised in the South but writes about New York state.  However, all authors reflect or refract their personal experience; together their work conveys the range and texture of the literary tradition of the South and of its women writers.

In this volume of the "Woolf Studies Annual", Jane Goldman reveals submerged suffrage history in "The Waves," Lorraine Janzen Kooistra explains how "Roger Fry" is an apologia for Bloomsbury, and Janet Winston examines the multiple discourses of imperialism in "To the Lighthouse."

Editorial Review

Product Description
"What I like most about this book is the fine balance between theory and pedagogy it achieves. The theoretical discussions are carefully developed, thoughtful, and richly provocative, drawing on complex theories to unpack the subtleties and contradictions of women’s autobiography in its many forms. Yet the essays themselves are full of valuable and very accessible information that could be used to develop and/or enrich courses in women’s autobiography and women’s studies in general.

Women's Lives/Women's Times reflects the growing interest in life-writing as a basis for both feminist theorizing and women-centered education. Itdiscusses the many ways in which the study of autobiography can contribute to the theory, practice, and politics of women's studies as curriculum, and to feminist theory more generally.

This volume is concerned with the application of theory to text--particularly with the assumptions and discourses of postmodernism--but also in exploring how general theories of the subject do not always fit comfortably with the specifics of autobiographical writing. It also recognizes the challenge women's autobiography offers to theory, taking us, in its complex weave of the personal, the political, and the theoretical, beyond the usual generic and disciplinary boundaries. ...

Product Description
During the British women’s suffrage campaign of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, women wrote plays to convert others to their cause; they wrote essays to justify their militant actions; and they wrote fiction and poetry about their prison experiences.

This volume is a diverse collection of these writings, focused on the women’s suffrage campaign in England and written primarily during the brief period between the New Woman writers of the 1890s and the modernists of the twentieth century. Many of these works have not been reprinted since they were first published.

This important collection includes essays reflecting a variety of opinions and political positions; excerpts from autobiographies by women involved in the movement; suffrage poetry; the song that became the official song of the British suffrage movement; several one-act plays that were written and performed specifically to advance the suffrage cause; and short stories and excerpts from novels about suffrage. ...
