Book Synopsis
Offers an insight into the modes and devices employed in the creation of women's fiction since the eighteenth century. This book argues that traditional theorizations of the sublime depend upon unexamined assumptions about femininity and sexual difference, and that the sublime could not exist without misogynistic constructions of 'the feminine.'
