Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Points out how British novelist Pym (1913-80) parodied the conventions of romance novels by deflating characters, hyperbole, and exaggeration, or emphasizing meticulously the mundane elements of everyday life. Shows how she used food, clothes, heroin and hero characterizations, and marriage customs to portray her characters,' and perhaps her own, skepticism about the whole business.

Book Synopsis The Troublesome Woman by : Robin Rosemary Joyce
Download or read book The Troublesome Woman written by Robin Rosemary Joyce and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation offers a revisionist account of Barbara Pym's fiction written between 1935 and 1979. It is an analysis of Pym's published work and unpublished manuscripts. The thesis contends that Pym's writing has a significant feminist dimension in the way it represents women characters and challenges conventions about women's role. Pym was a consummate observer. It is argued that, consciously or unconsciously, she interpreted her observations from a feminist perspective. Unlike post-1970s writers, she was ill equipped to place her observations into a feminist framework. Their familiarity with a body of feminist theory gave their work recognisable markers through which to interpret their feminist understandings. Re-reading Pym's work through some of those understandings demonstrates that, although she has no apparent feminist framework, many of the issues she raises and the way in which she approaches them, are feminist. It is argued that Pym continues some of Jane Austen's practices in her use of irony and mockery; confounding expectations of male and female behaviour; uttering truisms to highlight inconsistencies in behaviour; and using a conforming woman to contrast with a troublesome woman. This thesis argues that the arguments for a feminist re-reading of Austen's work are legitimately applied to re-reading Pym's texts. Until the 1970s, Pym also wrote subversive texts in inhospitable circumstances. The familiar conservative village setting or context for much of her fiction is a cover for the challenging exploration of the unequal nature of relationships between women and men. In the reception of Pym's fiction, the village has often been mistaken for the whole interest of the work. This thesis contends that Pym's techniques provided a cosy cover for representations of women and men that disturbed conventional pieties about marriage and women's social role. Pym would not describe herself as a feminist writer. However, Pym gives women's stories credibility, supports the notion of spinsters who choose to remain unmarried and observes friendships between women and realises them in her fiction. Pym's work is examined against feminist criteria. She gives what I refer to as the ""troublesome woman"" a central place in her narratives; her work destabilises the argument that women have inherently different characteristics from men and that nurturing is central to women's lives; binary feminist ideas are a recurring feature; and she features some aspects of the politics of difference. Pym's work is also compared with Fay Weldon and Zoe Fairbairns' acknowledged feminist work. Pym's feminist approach culminates in her 1970s novels, An Academic Question and Quartet in Autumn. --provided by Candidate.

Book excerpt: According to Benet, Pym's ten novels center on one great subject that moves, shapes, or disfigures all her major characters: the many guises of love, sought, attained, or frustrated. As the novels progress, we understand the relative nature of concepts of suitability.
Book Synopsis Reading Barbara Pym by : Deborah Donato
Download or read book Reading Barbara Pym written by Deborah Donato and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Barbara Pym stakes out new territory in Pym criticism byquestioning the assumptions and predispositions by which her novelshave been received and judged. Early in Pym's career, reviews of hernovels likened her books in relaxed fashion to delicious tastes andsmells. Later (when mention of her twice in a TLS survey as one of thecentury's ten most underrated novelists secured and altered her criticalreception), and since her death in 1980, commentary in oppositelyvigilant fashion discovered in Pym's novels academic themes andgender/political issues ripe for exploration. But the traditional concernsof academic and popular criticism have sidestepped the morechallenging task of locating the power and quality of Pym's narrative, the reasons her novels are important to read personally as well asstudy academically

Book Synopsis Women and Humor by : Barbara A. Karman
Download or read book Women and Humor written by Barbara A. Karman and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors Marietta Holley, Fanny Fern and Harriet Beecher Stowe produced works of humorous fiction, parody and satire to advance discussion on the question of women's suffrage and equality. Using The General Theory of Verbal Humor (Attardo and Raskin, 1994; Attardo, 1994) to analyze some of the joke targets used by these women writers, the dissertation argues that some works of early feminist humor are easily recast as proto feminist humor. Additionally, the dissertation argues that anti-feminist humor authored by Marietta Holley and Harriet Beecher Stowe was created to control the rhetorical discourse of more radical elements of the early suffrage movement. Finally, the dissertation recognizes the complexity of the development of feminist humor and acknowledges the importance of humor as a form of rhetorical persuasion used by these women writers.
