Gilbert & Gubar's The madwoman in the attic after thirty years

Published in 1979, Gilbert and Gubar's The Madwoman in the Attic was hailed as a pathbreaking work of criticism.

This thirtieth-anniversary collection adds both valuable reassessments and new readings and analyses.

The authors take as their subjects specific nineteenth- and twentieth-century women writers, the state of feminist theory and pedagogy, genre studies, film, race, and postcolonialism, with approaches ranging from ecofeminism to psychoanalysis.
