      abstract = {"The New Feminist Criticism" brings together for the first  time the most influential and controversial essays on the  feminist approach to literature. These groundbreaking  essays by well-known critics offer a much-needed overview  of feminist critical theory, and illustrate its practice.  In "The New Feminist Criticism" the authors take up a  variety of topics. They challenge received notions of  literary tradition and shows how women's writing has been  systematically excluded, misread, and misinterpreted. They  address the relationship of women's writing to ethnicity,  separatism, and feminism itself. And they ask how it  differs from that of men, with regard to recurrent images,  symbols, themes, and plots. Complete with a bibliography of  feminist literary theory, "The New Feminist Criticism" is  an indispensable introduction to one of the most important  intellectual movements of recent times. -- From publisher's  description},
