ISBN: 0719057590 ISBN-13: 9780719057595 Publisher: Manchester University Press OUR PRICE: $28.45 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2004 Annotation: Recent years have seen a rennaissance of scholarly interest in the fin-de-siecle fiction of the New Woman. "New Woman Strategies" offers a new approach to the subject by focusing on the discursive strategies and revisionist aesthetics of the genre in the writings of three of its key exponents: Sarah Grand (1854-1943), Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) and Mona Caird (1854-1932). The study explores how each writer drew on, mimicked, feminized and ultimately transformed traditional literary and cultural tropes and paradigms: feminity, allegory and mythology. |
