Frankenstein, Jane Eyre: Feminist Literary Criticism

The re-release of Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar’s ‘The Madwoman in the Attic’ essay marks a significant moment in feminist literary criticism. Published in 1979, the work analyzed Charlotte Brontë’s ‘Jane Eyre’ and other works through a feminist lens, building on the work of earlier female writers. This re-edition represents a renewed focus on the historical context of women’s writing and its critical reception.
