my library was dukedom enough
Mar. 31st, 2010 07:38 pmWell, it's taken me a while, but I've finally found Elaine Showalter. How did I miss this frood?! She's pretty hoopy. A little kink-shy, a little essentialist, but no more so than any 80s-early 90s white feminist criticism.
Old-school girl-style academic crit, Victorianist edition. Just finished Sexual Anarchy, and I'mma have to go back to the library for more soonish here. When I get through the rest of my reading.
I was thinking, a couple days ago, how when I was a little girl I never had enough to read. My life was a perpetual quest for text: libraries, book lists, curricula, reading programs. There was never enough to last as long as I needed it to. How I wish that I could somehow outsource some of my current stacks to that little girl - she would've liked them more than I do! Always feast or famine, I suppose.
