The Unsociable Sociability of Women's Lifewriting (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

By investigating women lifewriters' complex quest to distinguish themselves both within and from institutions and communities, this volume uses Kant's concept of unsociable sociability to formulate a divided sense of self at the heart of women's lifewriting, offering a provocative response to the notion of the relational female subject.

Rezensionen

'The volume advances the established feminist project to make visible women whose writing may not be well known, and it accomplishes this purpose admirably within the field of lifewriting.' - Review of English Studies
