Women Constructing Men: Female Novelists and Their Male Characters, 1750 - 2000

by Sarah S.G. Frantz and Sarah Ailwood

Book Overview

Female novelists have always invested as much narrative energy in constructing their male characters as in envisioning their female. The collected articles in demonstrate that the topic of female-authored masculinities not only allows scholars to re-discover almost every novel written by a woman, but also triggers reflections on a host of theoretical questions of gender and genre.
