What if the American literary canon were expanded to consistently represent women writers, who do not always fit easily into genres and periods established on the basis of men's writings? How would the study of American literature benefit from this long-needed revision? This timely collection of essays by fourteen women writers breaks new ground in American literary study. Not content to rediscover and awkwardly fit female writers into the white male scheme of anthologies and college courses, editors Margaret Dickie and Joyce W. Warren question the current boundaries of literary periods, advocating a revised literary canon. The essays consider a wide range of American women writers, including Mary Rowlandson, Margaret Fuller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Frances Harper, Edith Wharton, Gertrude Stein, Amy Lowell and Adrienne Rich, discussing how the present classification of these writers by periods affects our reading of their work.Beyond the focus of feminist challenges to American literary periodization, this volume also studies issues of a need for literary reforms considering differences in race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. The essays are valuable and informative as individual critical studies of specific writers and their works. Challenging Boundaries presents intelligent, original, well-written, and practical arguments in support of long-awaited changes in American literary scholarship and is a milestone of feminist literary study.

Since women writers don’t always fit neatly into genres and periods established by men’s writings, we must revise American literature study. Challenging Boundaries: Gender and Periodization is a groundbreaking collection of essays by 14 women writers. Joyce W. Warren and Margaret Dickie dispute current boundaries of literary periods, refusing to accept female writers within a white male scheme and encouraging a revised literary canon. They discuss the effects of current classification for writers such as Margaret Fuller, Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein and Adrienne Rich, and also consider the need for literary reforms regarding race, ethnicity, class and sexuality.  Books List_Books, [PU: University of Georgia Press]<
