Paperback. Condición: Good. Voice Lessons is a book about writing from a woman with a remarkable story to tell and an utterly distinctive voice in which to tell it. Nancy Mairs's essays have been called "triumphs. of will, style, candor, thought and even form" (Los Angeles Times). She has won acclaim for her autobiographical writing on themes from living with depression to renewing a marriage, from sex to religion. In Voice Lessons, Mairs's subjects are literary, but as always her approach is personal, revealing, and inspiring. Mairs first shares her sharply drawn story on how "finding a voice" as an essayist transformed her life when she was a graduate student, wife, and mother in her late thirties. In a tribute to the liberating power of literature and feminist ideas, she shows how the words of other writers made possible a new career, a new life in difficult times. Voice Lessons goes on to explore other women's writing and to outline a singular kind of literary life. Always grounding her writing in personal experience, always making ideas concrete, Mairs gives us essays on writing and the body, the challenges of autobiography, the revelatory power of Virginia Woolf and Alice Walker, the literature of personal disaster, and the art of dealing with rejection. Articulate, witty, incisive, and inspirational, Voice Lessons is a book for writers and aspiring writers, and for everyone who loves women's writing.…

An analysis of Victorian women writers, this pathbreaking book of feminist literary criticism is now reissued with a substantial new introduction by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar that reveals the origins of their revolutionary realization in the 1970s that the personal was the political, the sexual was the textual. The classic argument for a women's literary tradition.--Scott Heller, Chronicle of Higher Education The authors force us to take a new look at the grandes dames of English literature, and the result is that they will never seem quite the same again.--Le Anne Schreiber, New York Times Book Review Imperative reading.--Carolyn G. Heilbrun, Washington Post Book World A masterpiece.--Carolyn See, Los Angeles Times Book Review The Madwoman in the Attic, The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century, originally published in 1979, has long since become a classic, one of the most important works of literary criticism of the 20th century.

The book brought the concerns of feminism to the study of female writers and presented the case for the existence of a distinctly feminine imagination.--Martin Arnold, The New York Times The authors are brilliant academics but they wear their erudition lightly.

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Zelda Popkin?s adventurous life could have made her the protagonist of one of her own novels. In his brilliant telling of the story of her life, her historian grandson, Jeremy D. Popkin, has made a singular contribution to the history of American Jewish women in the twentieth century.From the 1920s when she worked in the highly competitive and male-dominated public relations business to her rise as a million selling author of popular fiction beginning in the 1940s, including some of the earliest fiction on the Holocaust and the state of Israel, Zelda?s life and work documented the rise of American Jewish women. Popkin uses Zelda?s experience to bring to life a larger story of American Jews and American women in the twentieth century, with the vividness that comes from having a lively character at its center. At the same time, this will also be a story about a woman whose powerful personality profoundly influenced several generations of a family. Popkin makes the case that even if she sometimes burnished her stories to create what he calls ?legends of Zelda,? she was one of the most articulate female members of the generation of Jews who fought their way into the American middle class during the decades of the 1920s and 1930s. Zelda?s life is a rich source of evidence about the experience of American Jewish women and offers perspectives that are frequently at odds with analyses based on men?s lives. The story of Zelda, her generation, and its rich and significant legacy will create a compelling portrait and detailed tapestry of an iconic woman and her time.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The first book in a landmark three-volume work that brings feminist theory to bear on modern literature in English. Focusing on both male and female writers, Gilbert and Gubar here survey social, literary, and linguistic conflicts between the sexes as revealed in texts by nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers from Tennyson to Woolf, from Hemingway to Plath."An exciting and ground-breaking work."?Carolyn Heilbrun, Columbia University"Fast, funny, profound in its theoretical assertions, and deliciously irreverent in its asides. Male readers and critics will ignore it at their own peril."?Joyce Carol Oates"Should be welcomed both by contemporary women readers and by anyone who has had the experience of modernism but wondered about its meanings."?Christine Froula, New York Times Book Review"No Man?s Land will surely rewrite the history of modernism."?Maureen Corrigan, Village Voice"No Man?s Land promises to be as crucial for our understanding of 20th-century literature as The Madwoman in the Attic has been for our understanding of 19th-century literature."?Clare Hanson, Times Higher Education Supplement.…
