Description: "When it was published in 1979, Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar's The Madwoman in the Attic: the Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination was hailed as a pathbreaking work of criticism, changing the way future scholars would read Jane Austen, Mary Shelley, the Brontes, George Eliot, and Emily Dickinson. This thirtieth-anniversary collection adds valuable reassessments and new readings and analyses inspired by Gilbert and Gubar's approach. it includes work by established and up-and-coming scholars, as well as retrospective accounts of the ways in which The Madwoman in the Attic has influenced teaching, feminist activism, and the lives of women in academia." --back cover.
