Book Description:
|
Portrays an elusive and self-aware writer whose refusal to grant authority to a single perspective even while she recirculated the fundamental assumptions and debates of her era enabled her simultaneously to fulfil and deflect the expectations of the literary marketplace. Writing from within the established rubrics of gender, narrative, and publication format, she nevertheless performed important cultural work.
