Feminist Literary Insight - Exploring Gender and Identity in Literature

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the realm of literary studies, feminist literary theory stands as a groundbreaking force, challenging traditional notions and illuminating the profound impact of gender on literary expression and interpretation. This book embarks on an intellectual journey through time, exploring the evolving perspectives on gender and identity in literature, from the historical context to contemporary digital spaces.

With a keen focus on intersectionality, this exploration delves into the intricate interplay of gender with other social identities, such as race, class, and sexuality. It unveils the ways in which gender shapes narrative structures, character development, and linguistic styles, casting light on the power dynamics and social constructs embedded within literary texts. This exploration extends beyond the boundaries of traditional literature to encompass digital storytelling, online communities, and the ever-evolving landscape of digital media.

Furthermore, this book delves into the complex relationship between gender and authorship, examining the challenges faced by women writers throughout history and the ongoing struggle for recognition and equality in the literary world. It sheds light on the gender bias inherent in the publishing industry, the canonization of literature, and the awarding of literary prizes. By interrogating these systems, this book aims to foster a more inclusive and diverse literary landscape that values and celebrates the voices of marginalized authors.

Through this comprehensive analysis, this book not only provides a deeper understanding of feminist literary theory but also challenges us to rethink our assumptions about gender, identity, and representation in literature. It prompts us to reconsider the ways in which gender influences our reading and interpretation of texts, ultimately inspiring a more nuanced and empathetic engagement with literature. As readers embark on this journey of discovery, enlightenment, and empowerment, they will recognize the transformative potential of feminist literary theory in shaping a more equitable and just world.

Harpy - A Manifesto for...

Caroline Magennis

'Harpy is a tonic; a tongue-in-cheek manual for dealing with Spanish Inquisition-style questioning about saying pass to procreation and building an enriching life beyond the nuclear family' VOGUE


'Harpy made me nod in recognition, and shake my head with sorrow, and then it made me laugh out loud' EMILIE PINE, author of NOTES TO SELF and RUTH & PEN
'Defiant, funny and inspiring' SEÁN HEWITT, author of ALL DOWN DARKNESS WIDE

Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many, it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend, we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree - for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy.

In this timely and thoughtful book, Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often-divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humour and intelligence, she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman - whether a parent or childfree - can live a full life, while also reminding the reader that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.

Made in Manchester: A people’s...

Brian Groom

A rich and vivid history of Britain's second city through the people who made it
‘What Manchester thinks today, England thinks tomorrow.’
Long before Manchester gave the world titans of industry, comedy, music and sport, it was the cosmopolitan Roman fort of Mamucium. But it was as the ‘shock city’ of the Industrial Revolution that Manchester really made its mark on the world stage. A place built on hard work and innovation, it is no coincidence that the digital age began here too, with the world’s first stored-program computer, Baby.
A city as radical as it is revolutionary, Manchester has always been a political hotbed. The Peterloo Massacre is immortalised in British folklore and the city was a centre for pioneering movements such as Chartism. Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst hailed from here and the city still treasures its wilful independence.
Manchester’s spirited individuality has carried through into its artistic output too, bringing the world Anthony Burgess, L.S. Lowry, Jeanette Winterson, Joy Division and Oasis. Mention United or City almost anywhere and you’ll find fans, and opinions.
Until now, this magnificent city did not have its definitive history. From the author of the bestselling Northerners, this work of unrivalled authority and breadth tells the story of a changing place and its remarkable people.
In this autobiography of a city, Brian Groom delves into the historical and social aspects of Manchester, painting a vivid picture of its evolution from the 19th century to the 21st. The non-fiction work is a testament to the city's popular culture, its influence on Britain and Europe, and its significant contributions to science.
For fans of Rick Broadbent (Jessica Ennis), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), Simon Jenkins (The Celts), Andy Burnham (Head North), and Ian Mortimer (Medieval Horizons).
