BrewerFormat: HardbackRelease Date: 05/27/2004Description: Essays illustrating the range and diversity of post-1970 British women writers.Despite the enduring popularity of contemporary women's writing, British women writers have received scant critical attention. They tend to be overshadowed by their American counterparts in the media and have come to be represented within the academy almost exclusively by Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson. This collection celebrates the range and diversity of contemporary (post-1970) British women writers. It challenges misconceptions about the natureand scope of fiction by women writers working in Britain - commonly dismissed as parochial, insular, dreary and domestic - and seeks to expand conventional definitions of "British" by exploring how issues of nationality intersectwith gender, class, race and sexuality. Writers covered include Pat Barker, A.L. Kennedy, Maggie Gee, Rukhsana Ahmad, Joan Riley, Jennifer Johnston, Ellen Galford, Susan Hill, Fay Weldon, Emma Tennant, and Helen Fielding.Contributors: DAVID ELLIS, CLARE HANSON, MAROULA JOANNOU, PAULINA PALMER, EMMA PARKER, FELICITY ROSSLYN, CHRISTIANE SCHLOTE, JOHN SEARS, ELUNED SUMMERS-BREMNER, IMELDA WHELEHAN, GINA WISKER.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmContributor: Emma Parker (Edited by), Christiane Schlote (Contributions by), Clare Hanson (Contributions by), David Ellis (Contributions by), Eluned Summers-Bremner (Contributions by), Emma Parker (Contributions by), Felicity Rosslyn (Contributions by), Gina Wisker (Contributions by), Imelda Whelehan (Contributions by), John Sears (Contributions by), Mararoula Joannou (Contributions by), Paulina Palmer (Contributions by)Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Society & CultureBook Series: Essays and StudiesAuthor: Emma ParkerItem Weight: 378gRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
