Product Description
From Library Journal
Warhol and Herndl (English, Univ. of Vermont) have cumulated 58 previously published essays on 19th- and 20th-century British and North American texts that were written between the mid-1970s and 1990 by 53 widely known feminist literary critics representing a variety of critical perspectives, including Anglo-American, French, Marxist, structuralist, new historicist, and psychoanalytic, among others. This anthology, the most comprehensive available, is one of the few that crosses the boundaries between these various feminist approaches. In addition, the editors' illuminating summaries of each essay in their introductions to the book's 13 sections, each of which is devoted to a particular issue in feminist criticism, constitute a valuable overview of the field and distinguish the book from other collections. The editors offer a strong case for their selections and for some notable omissions. Highly recommended for collections in literary criticism and women's studies.

Review
Everything you might want to know about the history and practice of feminist criticism in North America. (Feminist Bookstore News)
Admirably comprehensive, intelligently organized and introduced, with a wide array of challenging yet accessible essays.... For the theoretically inclined, this would be an ideal book to take to a desert island. -- Belles Lettres

Feminisms: An Anthology of Literary Theory and Criticism.,
By Scholarma (La Quinta, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feminisms, Revised Edition: An Anthology of Literary Theory and Criticism (Paperback)
This anthology is a must for anyone studying feminist criticism. It covers a broad range of topics and as well is relatively new (1997). Read it and learn about this new and exciting field, or read it simply to enrich your current knowledge of criticism. Either way, this one is a keeper!

A Must For Any Feminist Scholar,
By A Customer
This review is from: Feminisms, Revised Edition: An Anthology of Literary Theory and Criticism (Paperback)
This is one of those books which i purchased for a class yet intend to keep well after the class is over. It's full of articles on a broad range of topics by a diverse group of writers and I often find myself flipping through it and reading articles which haven't been assigned for class - a sure sign that the book is a "keeper".
