The Not So Blank "Blank Page" : The Politics of Narrative and the Woman Narrator in the Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century English Novel (2007. XII, 150 S. 230 mm)

Tsomondo (English literature and literary theory, Howard U.) employs a fresh perspective for studying female-narrated novels by defining a "woman's text" as one written by a man or woman that thematizes narrative travail. Drawing on the novels Moll Flanders, The Life of Harriot Stuart, The Memoirs of Emma Courtney, Jane Eyre and Bleak House, Tsomondo describes the way texts are gendered principally by their narrative locations, structures and operations within the narrative landscape.
