Harrison\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs a woman's writing different from a man's? Many scholars -- and readers -- think so, even thought here has been little examination of the way women's novels enact the theories that women theorists have posited. In \u003ci\u003eJean Rhys and the Novel as Women's Text\u003c\/i\u003e, Nancy Harrison makes an important contribution to the exchange of ideas on the writing practice of women and to the scholarship on Jean Rhys.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarrison determines what the form of a well-made women's novel discloses about the conditions of women's communication and the literary production that emerges from them. Devoting the first part of her book to theory and general commentary on Rhys's approach to writing, she then offers perceptive readings of \u003ci\u003eVoyage in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e, an early Rhys novel, and \u003ci\u003eWide Sargasso Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, Rhys's masterpiece written twenty-seven years later. She shows how Rhys uses the terms of a man's discourse, then introduces a woman's (or several women's) discourse as a compelling counterpoint that, in time, becomes prominent and gives each novel its thematic impact. In presenting a continuing dialogue with the dominant language and at the same time making explicit the place of a woman's own language, Rhys gives us a paradigm for a new and basically moral text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
