Of all the topics in literary theory, feminism has proved to be the most enduring, the most widely influential and has forced an expansion in the English canon in all periods of study. This lively book addresses women writers in the sixteenth century, taking examples from all genres of writing, including religious works, letters and journals, poetry, fiction, translation and books on childcare. It furthers the debate about women as writers within the period and includes, for comparison, their male counterparts where appropriate to the text. All pieces include useful on-the-page annotation and headnotes and are prefaced by a substantial editor's introduction.

The Life and Work of Marcel Proust (Audiobook, MP3)

 Proust's great literary work "Remembrance of Things Past" looks back at the old social order while noting the rise of a different way of life. This biography looks at Proust's own life which provided the background for a number of his stories and sketches.
Born in 1871, Marcel Proust was intent on becoming a writer from an early age. For much of his youth Proust led the life of a man-about-town, frequenting fashionable Paris drawing rooms and literary salons, which would form the background of a number of his early stories and sketches, and subsequently Proust's great work, Remembrance of Things Past, the major French literary statement of the 20th century.
