The erotics of talk: women's writing and feminist paradigms

Abstract

Kaplan rereads both American feminist criticism of the past two decades, and the literary canon which it has constructed as its foundation. Kaplan reads a group of works that have become feminist classics - Jane Eyre, The Yellow Wallpaper, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Their Eyes Are Watching God, and The Color Purple - focusing on how each work represents and how feminist critism has talked about these representations; developing the wonderful paradigm of erotics of talk - the search for the ideal listener.
