From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Feminist Companion to Literature in English: Women Writers from the Middle Ages to the Present is a biographical dictionary about women writers .

Companion was edited by Virginia Blain , Patricia Clements , and Isobel Grundy . [1] It was published in 1990 by Batsford (now Pavilion Books ) in the UK and Yale University Press in the US. [2] It took about ten years to complete and was based mainly on research completed specifically for the project. [1] [3]

Companion includes about 2,700 entries about women writers and associated topics such as genres and literary movements . [1] Only writing in English is covered but the project's geographic scope is wide. [3] Temporally, Companion covers writers from the Middle Ages to about 1985. [4]

Entries focus on biographical details over literary criticism, [5] seeking to show the lives from which women's writing emerged. [6] The editors included entries on writing not typically considered literary, such as diaries and letters , in order to counteract received narratives of what literature can be. [7] Companion emphasizes women's relationships with one another and lists mothers before fathers when describing a subject's parentage. [8]
