Features: Synopsis Feminist literary theory is a literary theory that has developed alongside Western feminist movements and is a theory centered on women. This book provides a detailed study and analysis of the emergence and development of feminist literary theory in the West, as well as the theories of the two major schools—British and French—focusing on issues such as sexual politics, the tradition of women's literature, women's writing, and women's literary language. It explores the relationship between feminist literary theory and other literary theories such as Marxism, psychoanalysis, and deconstruction. Based on an evaluation of Western feminist literary theory, the book analyzes the current state of feminist literary criticism in China and points out the challenges faced by feminist literary theory.
