Great scholarship!
All of the chapters in this book are very well researched and scholarly. I particularly enjoyed the "Tutoring the Tudors" chapter by Kathi Vosevich. Her research brings to life the differences in the politicalrhetoric of Queens Mary and Elizabeth Tudor.

A good read
I'm grateful for this book, that's both scholarly and easily read by the non-scholar.We haven't heard enough from the women of this period, and these authors help us understand better who these women were and why wewant to know them. ... Read more

Feminisms: An Anthology of Literary Theory and Criticism.
This anthology is a must for anyone studying feminist criticism. It covers a broad range of topics and as well is relatively new (1997). Read it and learn about this new and exciting field, or read it simply to enrich yourcurrent knowledge of criticism. Either way, this one is a keeper!

A Must For Any Feminist Scholar
This is one of those books which i purchased for a class yet intend to keep well after the class is over.It's full of articles on a broad range of topics by a diverse group of writers and I often find myself flippingthrough it and reading articles which haven't been assigned for class - asure sign that the book is a "keeper". ...

In Other Worlds
In Other Worlds: Essays in Cultural Politics, Gayatri Spivak is interested in finding new ways to apply Marxism and Feminism to literary texts. She argues that the traditional ways of reading texts and the traditional canon of knowledge leave out many important voices from Other Worlds. Her essays focus on the growing need for academic departments to become increasingly integrated in order to better understand the world's political, social and economic issues that hegemonically maintain the cultural and economic hierarchy. Spivak argues that the positions and ways of knowing from within Euro-American universities have a direct and overwhelming influence on the ways ideological and economic imperialism is imposed on the "Third World". This is important because, as Spivak suggests, the task of coming to terms with Euro-American imperialism can not be accomplished within departmental boundaries. Instead, the boundaries that serve to separate disciplines and create "specialists" in any given area need to be broadened to inform all aspects of the social and economic situations. Read more

Note on "More on Power/Knowledge" chapter
This is not really a review of the totality of the text - Instead, I wish to comment on Spivak's specific essay, "More on Power/Knowledge." (I believe it is the 2nd or 3rd chapter)
Unabashedly deconstructivist
Deconstruction is alive and kicking in the writing of la Spivak. Oddly enough, when noone else seems to be doing it. Yet, in her practical criticism of theory and pedagogy Spivak is more than coherent and consistent, and this is due mostly to her endorsement of post-structuralist ways. Highly recommended for those who want to witness a truly serious academic stretching a point! ... Read more

Naturam expellas furca, tamen usque recurret
At Marx's graveside, Engels praised him as a revolutionary -- which he was -- and credited him with two of the greatest scientific discoveries in human history: first, that "just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history" and second, that Marx had discovered the "special law of motion" without which all previous economics "had been groping in the dark." Setting history on equal scientific footing with evolutionary biology, and making economics for the first time truly scientific would indeed be astounding accopmlishments.
Gem from abrilliant thinker.

a pleasure to read
This book is a classic. It is a must have for any religion student, women's studies major or African American studies major. Dr. Cannon's writing is beautifully poetic and extremely intellectually stimulating. Her work is rooted in social ethics and deeply sensitive to race, class and gender struggles on multiple levels. As a former student of the author I can also say that this book mirrors her dynamic teaching style of presenting an issue- like an onion peeling back the layers leaving the reader thirsting for more information resulting in tangetingresearch endeavors, conversations with others and probing for how similar contemporarious issues are developing in modern society right down to local level. I read this book cover to cover and would recommend it highly to anyone who encounters it. They will walk away with a gift only Dr Cannon could give. She is a profound ethicist and gifted educator who ministers to the call for social justice with passion and has the ability to make you think harder than you ever have before. Her book accomplishes this task and her grasp of language and critical concepts pushes the reader to wrap their brain around ideas and statements in a way that will forever change how one digests the written word. ...

Strong and original
Anyone who reads this book and is serious about academic studies will find it fresh, illuminating, and well-written.Full of insights about the Romantic period, it usefully introduces readers to a variety of approaches to the idea of theatricality during the late eighteenth century.A page-turner!

Typing not writing
Poorly written, poorly conceived.A work of stale imagination, little skill, and no taste. ... Read more
