Writing on the Wall "A study in critical readership, this wide-ranging collection of essays challenges accepted theories on everything from classics such as Charlotte BrontdÆs Villette to more contemporary works like Margaret AtwoodÆs Life Before Man. Explored are ideas of sexual subversion and queer politics. LiteratureÆs sacred cows are reevaluated, and new ways to explore both reading and writing are offered." Full description

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This is a book about writing and reading. For Patricia Duncker, the art of reading remains central to her writing, and in this wide-ranging collection of essays she draws together her most urgent themes and concerns. With an emphasis on reading and sexuality that echoes concerns of contemporary literary theory, Duncker engages in a critical dialogue with the classics that haunt her own work and offers a meditation on the complexity of sexual politics and the process of writing itself. Duncker takes on the classics of European literature - from the sexual politics of Milton, to an illuminating reading of Tolstoy's "War and Peace" as historical fiction. She also discusses contemporary women's writing, including Angela Carter's "queer gothic", nationalism and Caribbean women's writing and the politics of heterosexuality in the work of Margaret Atwood and Jenny Diski. In a varied selection of essays, Duncker takes on the classics of European literature - from the sexual politics of Milton, to an illuminating reading of Tolstoy's "War and Peace" as historical fiction. she also discusses contemporary women's writing.
