DISSERTATION &1xbet online games login ;Dramatic Interventions: The Gendering of History's Narrative in Virginia Woolf and Jeanette Winterson.&1xbet online games login ; Director: Mark Wollaeger.

Virginia Woolf and Jeanette Winterson offer a feminist critique of the historiographic conventions of realist fiction. Woolf's interests in history and drama jointly shape the development of the narrative techniques that Winterson, as one of Woolf's literary heirs, self-consciously revises. In her early reviews and biographical writings, Woolf proposes a dialogic historiography which recovers what established histories elide and what drama tends to highlight: a woman's character, body, and voice. The critical perspective that Woolf seeks from the dramatic, Winterson locates in the romance. Their narratives draw upon the literary traditions of romance and of non-Aristotelian drama to advance feminist materialist goals which have been occluded by the established terms of the modernist/postmodernist debate.
