Language: autres langues.Publication: Bloomington, London : Indiana university press, cop. 1978Description: XXVI-198 p. ; 22 cmISBN: 0253310784.Abstract: "The major works of American fiction constitute a series of designs on the female reader, all the more potent in their effect because they are 'impalpable'" (from the Introduction). Judith Fetterley is breaking new ground by analyzing selected standard American fictional works (written by men) in terms of their bias, intent, and impact on women readers. She examines "Rip Van Winkle," "I Want to Know Why," "The Birthmark," "A Rose for Emily," A Farewell to Arms, The Great Gatsby, The Bostonians, and An American Dream. Fetterley's purpose is to change the male-dominated "closed-conversation" of the past to an "active dialogue" in which women can take part..Subject: critique féministe | critique littéraire | Etats-Unis| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
