About This Item
Persea Books, 1982. First Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. GREAT BOOK! FIRST PRINTING. NO SPINE CREASES & MILD SHELF WEAR ON COVER. LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, NO MARKS IN TEXT. Library Journal: Well written and well documented, this critical work can take its place with those of Ellen Moers, Sandra Gilbert, and Susan Gubar. Figes supports the premise that, through writing, the women writers who influenced the direction of the English novel turned their social, economic, and political disadvantages to significant advantage. She examines the techniques and contributions of both major and minor writers, starting with Fanny Burney and concluding with The Brontes and Elizabeth Gaskell. Figes's careful explanations, solid documentation, and readable style make this a book of criticism that public and particularly academic libraries will want. Elizabeth Guiney Sandvick, North Hennepin Community Coll., Minneapolis.
