Description
Over the past fifty years, feminist literary criticism has become theoretical rather
than practical, severing any relationship between literary analysis and the real
lived experiences of women. An example of this disconnect is the way in which
the madwoman in feminist literature has become a lauded icon of liberation, when
in reality her situation would be seen as anything but empowered. Finding the Plot
takes this example to task, arguing that in fact any interpretation of women’s
madness as subversive reinforces the very gender stereotypes that feminist literary
criticism should be calling into question.
Rogers argues for a radical approach. By constructing a ground-breaking revision
of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey model, which releases the madwoman from
her narrative captivity, Finding the Plot will transform the way you read, write,
and interpret women’s madness in literature.
