Beginning with a comprehensive survey of feminism’s most important themes and concerns and providing a critical evaluation of the various aspects of contemporary feminism, The Atlantic Feminist Series—Feminism in Literature: Musings and Aesthetics engages with significant questions relating to the society and the status of women in English Literature. The fifteen essays in the anthology most humbly contribute in setting the terms of national and international feminist debate and promote innovative and field-defining feminist scholarship within and across academic disciplines. Instilling a renewed faith in the arena of feminist studies, this anthology should prove invaluable for scholars, researchers and students of English Literature.
