Toward a recognition of androgyny

1 The hidden river of androgyny. 2 The woman as hero. 3 The Bloomsbury Group. Afterword

'Heilbrun's is an interesting, lively, and valuable general introduction to a new way of perceiving our Western cultural tradition, with emphasis upon English literature from Clarissa Harlowe to Clarissa Dalloway....She attempts a re-evaluation of the role of woman in practically everything ever written, Greek literature, the Bible, the epic, the romance, the plays of Shakespeare....and, of course, Richardson, Ibsen, James, Austen, Dickens, the Brontes, George Eliot, Lawrence". --Joyce Carol Oates
