- Summary:
- In these essays, a leading feminist critic and authority on women's poetry sets the terms for debate on identity, gender, and tradition by exploring what is has meant to write in the 20th Century. Written with Montefiore's customary lucidity, elegance, and wit, this book is indispensable reading for anyone interested in feminist literary studies, women's poetry, and the dilemmas of the modern writer.
