Women Writers and Experimental Narratives

This book suggests that there is a long history to women’s writing of and engagement in writing experimentally. Women writers use narratives and modes of writing as both engagement with and critique of worlds and stories with which they are often at odds. Experimentation – of style, genre, mode, voice, genre and language – has enabled women writers to be simultaneously creative and critical – engaged in and yet apart from stories and cultures which have so often seen them as ‘other’. This collection shows that women writers in English over the past 400 years have challenged those ideas not only through explicit polemic and alternative representations – but through disrupting the very modes of representation and story itself.
