Beskrivning

The book will be the first study of Byatt’s work to examine this figure in detail, and the first study of women intellectuals in historical and literary discourse to apply concepts of mythopoeia and sexual difference in ways that allow new readings of women’s status and work in public spheres.

Recensioner i media

“Bibby’s book proves rewarding in its discussion of Byatt’s female characters, particularly regarding their relationship with art, history, and the patriarchal tradition. There are moments of insight when she unravels the plethora of cultural theories that contribute to the making of Byatt’s unique women intellectuals, whose life stories vie with those of their male counterparts for the reader’s attention.” (Xiuchun Zhang, Women's Studies, Vol. 52 (1), 2023)
