In the tradition of the essay as complex humanist exploration, she engages ideas from across history: Aristotle's definition of happiness, Epicurus's swerve into unpredictable possibility, Montaigne's essays as an instrument of self-invention, John Cage's redefinition of Silence. Within her unifying rubric of poethics, Retallack gives the reader plenty of surprises with a wonderful range of examplesFeminism and literatureFeminism and literatureLiterature and moralsLiterature and moralsLiterature, ModernLiterature, Modern - History and criticismLiterature, Modern - History and criticismWomen in literatureWomen in literatureElectronic books.Feminism and literature.Feminism and literature.Literature and morals.Literature and morals.Literature, Modern.Literature, Modern - History and criticism.Literature, Modern - History and criticism.Women in literature.Women in literature.809.93352042809/.93352042Retallack Joan989541AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910450090903321The Poethical Wager2263277UNINA
