{"product_id":"fictions-of-authority-susan-sniader-lanser-9780801423772","title":"Fictions of Authority: Women Writers and Narrative Voice","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing on narratological and feminist theory, Susan Sniader Lanser explores patterns of narration in a wide range of novels by women of England, France, and the United States from the 1740s to the present. She sheds light on the history of \"voice\" as a narrative strategy and as a means of attaining social power. She considers the dynamics in personal voice in authors such as Mary Shelley, Charlotte Brontë, Zora Neale Hurston, and Jamaica Kincaid. In writers who attempt a \"communal voice\"?including Mary Wollstonecraft, Elizabeth Gaskell, Joan Chase, and Monique Wittig?she finds innovative strategies that challenge the conventions of Western narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Sniader Lanser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801423775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801423772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Sniader Lanser is Professor Emerita of English, Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Comparative Literature at Brandeis University.
