Description :
All Her Faculties focuses on the perpetuation and reflection in
literature of particular representations of the female mind that are
entrenched in conservative notions of womanhood. The study highlights
literature’s incontrovertible power to create myth - the myth of woman
as body, not mind - through social practice as well as discourse. This
is accentuated in the divergent yet related roles women as scholars play
in a number of fictions that have entered, to a greater or lesser
degree, the cultural consciousness of the twentieth century. What
emerges is that the female scholar does not portray a ‘normal’ intellect
but a transgressive one, based on a cultural understanding of
rationality as male-inflected.
New readings of novels by H. G.
Wells, D. H. Lawrence, Dorothy L. Sayers, Kingsley Amis, David Lodge and
A. S. Byatt reveal that the female mind, implicated in her outward
appearance or inward psychology, is depicted as distorted by
scholarship. The female scholar is shown to lack ethos, a moral
aspect in relation to action and voice, and the plots of the novels
under discussion seem to thrive on this strategic marginalisation of her
subjective intellectual being. This study offers original readings of
twentieth-century texts through the lens of the female intellect.
