Transatlantic women's literature
By:Heidi Slettedahl Macpherson
Published on 2008 by Edinburgh Univ Pr
Transatlantic Women's Literaturefocuses on twentieth century women's narratives of travel and adventure, deliberately expanding the Transatlantic concept to include Canada, South America, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe. The book contests and problematizes the crisscrossing of the Atlantic throughout, noting culturally resonant literature that imagines |views from both sides| and reconfigures the |in-between| space of the Atlantic. The author thoroughly explores the way in which the space of the Atlantic-and women's space work together in the construction of meaning in transatlantic texts, engaging with a range of genres, from novellas and novels to essays, memoirs, and travel literature. Nella Larsen's Quicksandis read alongside Bharati Mukherjee's Jasmineand in relation to constructions of the exotic; Eva Hoffman's Lost in Translationis explored in relation to memoirs of travel, such as Jenny Diski's Skating to Antarcticaand Stranger on a Train. Anne Tyler's transatlantic The Accidental Touristis compared to her latest transpacific Digging to Americaand Isabel Allende's Daughter of Fortune. Readers gain an appreciation of the complex transatlantic narrative and the ways in which these narratives are defined by and infused with gender.
