Abstract
Pointing towards the variety of possible interpretations of any literary text, we shall briefly explain the focus of feminist readings of the work of Sylvia Plath, with an intention to problematize the way that even this one very specific and challenging corpus of criticism diverges into countless reading avenues. In a chronological context, the critical theory we are observing, i.e. the subject of our interest, belongs to the last three decades of the twentieth and the first decade of the twenty-first century. We shall also demonstrate, by way of illustration, that the lump characterization, proposed by some authors, may hold for the concrete examples which accompany our analysis.
Highlights
Certain anthologies, which map the development of literary critical theory during the last decade of the twentieth century, take as a starting point important conclusions while, at the same time, maintaining an analytical focus on all the solutions and perplexities pertinent to this research corpus
The nineties in general, as is obvious from the provided bibliography, 1 represent an era of reconsideration and, an era represented by contemporary theoretical cogitation. This era is comprised of texts inspired by various factors and authored by figures influential in the domain of the growth of literary critical theory in the last three decades of the twentieth century
While reviewing literary criticism published in the last few decades, such as that authored by Iain Chambers, Susan Sontag or Walter Benjamin, another analogy has lent itself to our observation, and this time it exhibits a cartographic nature
Summary
Certain anthologies, which map the development of literary critical theory during the last decade of the twentieth century, take as a starting point important conclusions while, at the same time, maintaining an analytical focus on all the solutions and perplexities pertinent to this research corpus.
