Abstract
Rethinking conceptions of identity and the subject, rethinking sexuality and sexual difference: here are two projects central to current feminist theory and literary criticism. They are large projects and, as those familiar with current literary theory will recognize, implicated in most of its branches. Following them as they are variously pursued in the present sampling of feminist criticism from the last three years has been an experience of political and personal engagement, sometimes of bafflement and frustration (because the writing here emerges from a network of ongoing debates, how much at home the reader feels at any moment can depend on how familiar one is with this particular point in the network), and of excitement at new illuminations and clarifications of history and of particular texts. Not only is knowledge, in several senses, being reconstituted; in some respects it is being constituted for the first time.
