FEMINIST CRITICAL THEORY: A CHECKLIST

rrfr
Laura Sue Fuderer

To be included in this bibliography a citation had to 1) reflect or discuss

a feminist approach; 2) pertain to literary criticism; and 3) relate to theory.
Subdivisions include "Bibliographies," "Introductory Sources,"
"General," "Black Critical Theory," "Ecriture Fminine," "Lesbian
Theory," "Marxist Theory," "Mythic Theory," "Other Poststructural
Theories," and "Psychoanalytic or Linguistic Theory." Classifying the
citations was difficult because of overlapping concepts, and the subject
headings are not rigid divisions but an attempt to impose a degree of
order on the 247 books and articles (no dissertations are included). For
example, discussions of criture fminine and lesbian theory relate to
psychoanalytic theory, and most feminist theory as a whole can be
described as poststructural, but each of these is a separate category in the
bibliography.
The citations relating to linguistics pertain specifically to literary theory
and reflect a small part of the literature on linguistics and gender differences in general. Coverage in years ranges from 1973 to 1987 with
the two exceptions of Woolf and Beauvoir. The bibliography is extensive
but not exhaustive.
