"We think back through our mothers if we are women," wrote Virginia Woolf. In this groundbreaking series of essays, Sandra M. Gilbert explores how our literary mothers have influenced us in our writing and in life. She considers the effects of these literary mothers by examining her own history and the work of such luminaries as Charlotte Bront?, Emily Dickinson, and Sylvia Plath. In the course of the book, she charts her own development as a feminist, demonstrates ways of understanding the dynamics of gender and genre, and traces the redefinitions of maternity reflected in texts by authors such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning and George Eliot. Throughout, Gilbert asks major questions about feminism in the twentieth century: Why and how did its ideas become so necessary to women in the sixties and seventies? What have those feminist concepts come to mean in the new century? And above all, how have our intellectual mothers shaped our thoughts today? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

When Sandra Gilbert and her collaborator, Susan Guber, published Madwoman in the Attic in 1980, it was a landmark event. Surveying women’s writings in English during the nineteenth century, their book examined what these authors said about being women, a question that was still an innovative one in academia. Gilbert and Guber would go on to write more books examining twentieth-century women writers and composing anthologies of works that have since become something of a women’s “cannon.”
