Abstract:

This thesis focuses on fiction and poetry written by women who have migrated from former British colonies in the Caribbean, Africa and South Asia, to Britain or North America; it explores how issues of race, gender, sexuality, belonging and power are raised through the writings‘ accounts of migration, displacement and changing identity. The thesis stresses the importance of these writings in addressing key issues in feminist politics and in women‘s lives, and in making significant contributions to these debates.

Abstract:

The 'obese' female body has often been portrayed as the 'other' to the slender body. However, this process of 'othering', or viewing as different, has created a repressive discourse, where 'excess' has increasingly come to be studied as a 'physical abnormality' or a signifier of a 'personality defect'. A tendency to stabilise the implications of obesity through medical, biological or statistical data has been a recurring characteristic of Westem society's current cultural view of obesity.

This thesis examines exile in contemporary autobiographical narratives written in French by women from across the Francophone world. The analysis focuses on work by Nina Bouraoui (Algeria), Gisele Pineau (Guadeloupe), Veronique Tadjo (Cote d'Ivoire), and Kim Lefevre (Vietnam), and investigates how the French colonial project has shaped female articulations of mobility and identity in the present. This comparative, cross-cultural, and cross-generational study engages with postcolonial theory, gender theory, and autobiographical theory in order to create a new framework with which to interpret w

Abstract:

A key paradigm in postcolonial studies, Homi Bhabha’s notion of cultural hybridity has become the dominant model for understanding migrant identity formation. However, its assumed universality and widespread currency are problematic because this concept is not equally applicable or relevant to all migrants. This dissertation focuses on the representation of cultural hybridity in contemporary British Muslim women’s writing, which is well-suited to pointing out the limitations and biases of Bhabha’s celebratory concept of hybridity. Because of its mostly religious, dark-skinned, female and worki

This thesis sets out to investigate, and concludes by defining, a genre of modern women's writing. This genre, which 1 have called 'intimatopia' for its depiction of fictional worlds which centre around intimacy, explores close relationships between men, I use this thesis to elucidate the ideological assumptions which underlie this genre, as well as to consider the textual features which are commonly used to support them.

Contemporary Chinese women writers re-emerged after the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). This thesis investigates a selection of stories by Chinese women writers published between 1979 and the end of 1990s. The investigation argues for an oppositional female consciousness and endeavours to demonstrate its various expressions in women writers' texts, covering such themes as love, family, career, intellectuals, working class, the female self, and social manners. Apart from the thematic concerns of female consciousness, the thesis also explores its expressions in unconventional narrative styles o

Using recent critical developments in feminist social history and literary historiography, as well as the recently increasing interest in Victorian journalism, this thesis re-examines Margaret Oliphant’s position on women’s roles from a sociological and historical perspective. The question of Oliphant’s position on women’s roles has been raised before, yet literary historians, inspired by the presuppositions of second-wave feminism and second-wave literary history, have restricted the debate to the question whether she was a ‘bad’ feminist or a ‘good’ one, and have ignored Oliphant’s represent

Abstract:

This thesis concerns women’s wartime diaries written for the radical social research organisation Mass-Observation (M-O) between 1939 and 1967, treating these as ‘social texts’ informed by social and temporal practices which also influence what ‘a diary’ is more widely perceived to ‘be’ as a genre of writing. It analyses the centrality of time and temporality to these social practices, to the relationship between writing and representation, and also to what it was to write a diary specifically for M-O and thus to position oneself as a ‘subjective camera’.

My Ph.D. examines women’s writing in the interwar period through a questioning of the boundaries between the public and private sphere as traditional masculine forms of power based on a system of sovereignty and law enter the domestic realm. I also consider how power might be reimagined abroad. I juxtapose works of popular fiction from E.M. Hull, Agatha Christie and Marie Belloc Lowndes with the modernist writers Sylvia Townsend Warner, Katherine Mansfield and Rebecca West.

This thesis undertakes an examination of American nationalism in women's writing of the antebellum period. This was a significant time of national formation which witnessed the geographical area of the nation double as new lands in the West and their inhabitants were brought into the Union. In addition, previously unprecedented numbers of immigrants were arriving from the Old World, causing anxiety among many native-born Americans about the national character and identity. The female literature of the period engages with these issues in ways which have not yet been fully explored and which inv

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the family saga in British women’s writing and explores how women writers between the two World Wars and within the context of modernity appropriated the genre. At the turn of the twentieth century social changes in British society led people to a reconsideration of what family and modernity meant. The re-imagining of family experience thus caused a flourishing of family sagas, particularly among women writers, and these sagas enjoyed a widespread readership and sales. Yet, the family saga has attracted little academic interest and criticism, and it has even b

Abstract:

Longstanding political, social, and academic debates surrounding women’s anger have followed a distinct pattern. On one hand, critics disparage women for writing and speaking in an angry voice, casting them as bitter, irrational, or they assign them the pejorative “angry feminist”. Women often respond to these critiques by defending their anger, and reframe this emotional response as a legitimate response to oppression. Despite the utility of this intervention, this debate has given rise to a binary structure where a woman’s anger is either a legitimate response to oppression, or an irrational
