Karen Gould | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Here is a celebration and an analysis of four Quebecois feminist rebels whose self-conscious revolt against language has put them at the forefront of experimental writing in Quebec. These womenNicole Brossard, Madeleine Gagnon, Louky Bersianik, and France Theoretare attempting to explode male-dominated language and to construct a new language and literature of women.In this first major study of their work in English, Karen Gould examines in depth these women s literary visions and the new ways in which they communicate those visions. Gould broadens her book s appeal by showing how these four women s works, in modern forms of experimental literature, are shaped not only by Quebec feminism, politics, and culture but by American and French influences as well."
