Women Novelists And The Ethics Of Desire, 1684-1814 : In The Voice Of Our Biblical Mothers

Attribution
Elizabeth Kraft
Publication Details
Book, Ashgate, 2008
Description
In “Women Novelists and the Ethics of Desire, 1684-1814″, Elizabeth Kraft radically alters our conventional views of early women novelists by taking seriously their representations of female desire. Like their paradigmatic foremothers, these early women novelists create female characters who demonstrate subjectivity and responsibility for the other even as they grapple with the exigencies imposed on them by circumstance and convention.Kraft’s study, informed by ethical theorists such as Emmanuel Levinas and Luce Irigaray, is remarkable in its juxtaposition of narratives from ancient and early modern times.

Consensual Fictions : Women, Liberalism, And The English Novel

Attribution
Wendy S. Jones
Publication Details
Book, University of Toronto Press, 2005
Description
In eighteenth and nineteenth-century England, consensual marriages became increasingly popular, according women a ‘contractual subjectivity’ in which the liberal ideal of individual choice was key. Jones argues that these works of fiction use the mulitplot form to explore the specific set of cultural problems associated with the ways in which liberalism reconceived marriage, love, and gender by exploring alternative resolutions to cultural problems through different narrative lines.

In Praise Of New Travelers : Reading Caribbean Migrant Women Writers

Attribution
Isabel Hoving
Publication Details
Book, Stanford University Press, 2001
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Description
Approaching postcolonial theory through cultural analysis, this book offers an accessible and concrete appraisal of current developments in postcolonial criticism. The discussion of these issues allows us to trace current feminist, postmodern, and postcolonial debates about the nature of the speaking subject, as it is emerging from today?s postcolonial cultural practices. The argument about the differences between postcolonialist, black and Caribbean feminist, white feminist, and postmodern criticism is conducted as a discussion about the effects, insights, and blindnesses produced by these different ways of reading Caribbean migrant women?s writing.
