Description

Book Synopsis
This textual study attempts to subject the works of the Anglo-Irish writer, Elizabeth Bowen, to a poststructuralist re-reading from a lesbian feminist perspective. Hoogland's current research is preoccupied with configurations of lesbian sexuality in novels of "female development" in the 50s.

Trade Review
Lively and topical. Firmly anchored in contemporary theory, Hoogland's analyses are witty and original, stylishly written and convincing. She confirms what one always suspected about adolescence, agency and identity in Bowen's heroines, and places Elizabeth Bowen in a startling context which is bound to bring her a whole new generation of attentive readers. -- Jane Marcus,CUNY Graduate Center
