PREFACE
Critics have long claimed affinities between the "domestic genre par excellence" and "the second sex," between the novel and women. This book demythologizes the feminization process in the light of contemporary women's studies. Part 1 shows how concepts of femininity have served to organize critical discourse about the readers and writers, the history and theory, and the esthetic qualities and ethical values of fiction. Among journalists, historians, and critics, in classical, romantic, and realist texts, and in concepts such as canon formation and the hierarchy of genres, we may trace patterns of imagery with which the uncanonical genre has been unconsciously but cumulatively invested. This conceptual orthodoxy has made descriptive discourse about the novel a disguised form of prescriptive discourse about women.
