Feminist Approaches to Literature: Vistas and Perspectives

Feminist Approaches to Literature: Vistas and Perspectives offers an edited collection of discourses, which are specifically feminist in content, showcasing major strands of contemporary feminist analysis. Instead of trying to be rigid regarding the nature of feminism or feminisms, this book offers some new thoughts on the various directions of feminism which might be apparent in the future. In doing so, the articles differ from the more traditionally accepted form of feminism—feminism which was, and feminism which is today, and imagine methods in which feminism can be related to other academic fields in an increasingly globalized world. The scholarly essays probe the relationship of the feminist paradigm to fields like humanism, literature and psychology, and exhibit that the future of feminism is not fractured, but all-encompassing. Thus, the seventeen essays in the anthology will prove very relevant to the students and researchers of English Literature.
