Addressing questions of form, Langbauer reads novels that explore the interplay between the novel and romance: works by Charlotte Lennox, Mary Wollstonecraft, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and George Meredith. She considers key issues in feminist debate, in particular the relations of feminist to the poststructuralist theories of Lacan, Derrida, and Foucault. In highlighting questions of gender in this way, Women and Romance contributes to a major debate between skeptical and materialist points of view among poststructuralist critics. 410 0$aReading women writing. 606 $aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a823.009/9287 700 $aLangbauer$b Laurie$0549504 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910272349503321 996 $aWomen and Romance$92425926 997 $aUNINA
