Críticas:

The chronological sequence of the authors and texts studied in this volume affords a diachronic view of the topic, and their pairing into three groups of two allows us to see how women writers of three different historical periods from 1919 to 1998 relate to the male dominated canon while constructing themselves as authors. . . . the authors, both well-respected academics and widely-published critics, make a decisive contribution to the visibility and critical understanding of a group of nationally-circumscribed women writers. * Bulletin of Spanish Studies *

Reseña del editor:

I>Antigone's Daughters? provides the first detailed discussion in English of six well-known Portuguese women writers, working across a wide range of genres: Florbela Espanca (1894-1930), Irene Lisboa (1892-1958), Agustina Bessa Luis, (1923- ), Natalia Correia (1923-93), Helia Correia (1949 -) and Lidia Jorge (1946 - ). Together they cover the span of the 20th century and afford historical insights into the complex gender politics of achieving institutional acceptance and validation in the Portuguese national canon at different points in the 20th century.
