Abstract

Building on scholarship, such as feminist criticism, that has contributed to an awareness of the distinctive perspectives on female experience revealed in women's writing, Heller reveals how women authors construct their female protagonists' quests for creative self-expression. By situating these narrative journeys in their own times and cultures, Literary Sisterhoods shows how they contribute to a common tradition that speaks to readers today.

Abstract

This study explores the process of mythmaking in plays written by women. By writing the lives of female writers and rewriting the literary characters, which have been created by male writers, women playwrights assume the role of a mythmaker. This study evaluates the constantly developing process of women's mythmaking/mythbreaking in Liz Lochhead's Blood and Ice, Rose Leiman Goldemberg's Letters Home, Bilgesu Erenus' Halide, Timberlake Wertenbaker's The Love of the Nightingale, Bryony Lavery's Ophelia, and Zeynep Avci's Gilgamesh.

Abstract

Ovid's Heroides, a catalogue of letters by women who have been deserted, has too frequently been examined as merely a lament. In a new departure, this book portrays the women of the Heroides as a community of authors. Combining close readings of the texts and their mythological backgrounds with critical methods, the book argues that the points of similarity between the different letters of the Heroides, so often derided by modern critics, represent a brilliant exploitation of intratextuality, in which the Ovidian heroine self-consciously fashions herself as an alluding author influenced by what she has read within the Heroides. Far from being naive and impotent victims, therefore, the heroines are remarkably astute, if not always successful, at adapting textual strategies that they perceive as useful for attaining their own ends. With this new approach Professor Fulkerson shows that the Heroides articulate a fictional poetic, mirroring contemporary practices of poetic composition.
