Literature and Feminism is an exemplary new introduction to feminist literary criticism and theory which assumes no previous knowledge of the field. Clear, informative and carefully structured, it provides a thorough guide to, and path through, one of the most important, but also most difficult, areas of contemporary literary studies.

Set in a provincial town in the early-19th-century, this is a subtle representation of historical change explored in human terms. The heroine passes from childhood to maturity in a process that, though often painful for her, is sharply and humorously observed.

A clear, reader-friendly guide to debates around realism, this guide is vital reading for students of literature, in particular those working on the realist novel. schovat popis
